Montana corner crossing lawsuit.

[velvet muley]

If your beliefs are it’s lawful what’s stopping you? Seems like most everyone is waiting on someone else to take the chance and foot the bill over the last 140 years. Enough people just do it and stead of talking about it, just maybe everyone could get some clarification from the court system.
The hunters that aren’t talking about it are the ones that have been hunting it alone.
As I stated earlier regardless of the out come, you better be prepared for Confrontation it will happen.
The funny part is once all the bystanders waiting on clarification it’s legal and grab their ladders. That block of BLM will be just like any other Public land all the wildlife will be pushed to private.
Link below will put you there legally with less confrontation, on most Montana public locked lands.

The same thing that stops everyone else, government overreach and threats of legal action with no actual law. Not everyone has the time or money to fight something like this in court but I'm sure you already know that.

If it potentially opens up close to 1,000.000 acres it will help disperse hunters, I've never heard anybody utter the words "we have too much public land to hunt in Montana, let's not try to open more up".

What I told hunters for years, is that it’s never (before the 10ths decision) been determined demonstrably one way or the other. If you do corner cross, there is a chance you could be charged. At that time our department decided to stay out of it just because there was no statute that clearly demonstrated (one way or the other) the legality or illegality of corner crossing. BUT that a county attorney may (which is exactly what happened in Wyoming).

It is sad that our department changed its view (or more likely someone changed it for them), especially in light of the 10ths decision.

If you can’t make the meeting at 9am on Monday I encourage you to send an email voicing your concern for the proposed land swap rule change. The map of what it would open to potential sale was truly shocking…
