I don't think Human drone transport is that far off, will be hell fitting one under the tree though.

So, what's the difference between having a drone carry me over the corner versus me stepping over the corner? Air space is air space in both cases with no difference.

I believe the federal ruling is that a landowner "owns" 500 vertical feet of air space above their land, so you'd have to get up there.

I think it has something to do with how high up you are. At some point above the property it ceases to be private air space. I think its at 500ft. I wouldn't want to be hanging onto a drone 500 ft up... plus I wonder if you would have to file a flight plan.

And, in some states, you can't hunt the same day you fly over the hunting area.

The whole corner crossing law and just landlocked public land really bothers me. I relate it to me buying all the land around your house and telling you that you can't go home. I ran across a 1x4 mile chunk of land that couldn't be accessed because someone owned a 100ft between the public and the road. I also hunted a BMA that allowed you to hunt their land but not the NF that it touched (only access would have been thru their property). It all feels like a swindle.

Great... Now I'm going to be all spun up the rest of the day.

When I first started hunting in the early 80's, my buddy and I found a 40 acre parcel that was really wide and not very deep. But NF was directly behind it with an entire mountain back there. The closest public access point was on the other side of the mountain. We were drooling over that piece of land, but we were poor high school students and they wanted $30k for it back then. We started painting and roofing houses to raise up enough money to buy it. By the time we had enough money, it was already gone.

One thing I don't understand about the corner to corner law is say you position something like this over the corner to where you never set foot on the private. Why would this still be illegal?

You couldn't actually do that to someone if they have a permanent easement through one of the newly owned properties. Generally when a person buys a piece of real estate you have to honor the previous easements on the property. I do not know of any lender that will loan on a property that has no legal access. When it comes to public land, the managing agency has to have an easement that allows public access through the private. If they don't then you can't access. Some easements have to be renewed every so often and other easements allow for management of the land but no public access.

I understand the legal side of it. I just think it sucks. Mostly because I want to hunt "over there".
