Corner Crossing 2024?

Sure it is. It is the number 1 tool used by WG&F and Sheriff's to determine private land boundaries.

I think OnX is #2

The 1st is established fence lines

One of the reasons I love Onx, People still try to play dumb though.

I had a conversation with a warden about corner crossing and it ended up with him telling me about a cpl guys he popped. They said they crossed at the corner so he asked to see their onx tracks. They pulled out the phone and showed him the track going straight into the private.

Fence lines came up in testimony yesterday during HB109 (mandatory license suspension for trespass) and it was noted most of the fences around the ranches were for grazing pasture designation, not for property lines.

Anyone who crosses a corner with ONX tracks on goes straight to Elmer Fudd status. I mean, are you that stupid?

Better off using Onx then trusting their fence placement

Half way agree, having two separate indicators on the property line puts you in red flag zone and does you no favors. A fence lining up with a corner gives you a much better feeling on your exact location. Either way, why have tracks on?

Must have been a stupid warden I talked to. I showed him where I was corner crossing, he said "turn your tracks on and if the LO gives you crap, here's my number; It's illegal to harass a hunter in Wyoming".

Well it depends, if there's no survey pin then OnX can be used to prove you in the clear. Obviously if you trespass having OnX track you would be a bad idea.

No, I’ll use the tools that I have and they can prove how I got there. I’m not handing anything to anyone.

I used to think this but since moving west a few years ago and frequently recreating on public land, I’ve come to realize the vast majority of fences are placed to keep livestock contained and often they are 20+ feet off based on GPS and/or survey markers. Right next to my house there’s a fence that I always assumed marked the property border of a few neighbors but recently I compared it to GPS and realized it is over 50 feet off, likely due to a creek and rocky terrain making it difficult to place the fence on the border.

Good to know.

And I’ve also came across fences that don’t jive with OnX, but I didn’t see any better hunting in that 50’ or so.
