Trophy bull and a trespass charge

Is flying to Casper from South Carolina using aircraft to aid in taking game?

Dude we agree, every out of state has to drive… scratch that, walk to the state or it’s poaching you don’t have to sell us on this

WY does not have access easements to state trust land. People need to understand these state land sections were deeded to WY at statehood.

So how to they "maximize revenue" off state lands if they can't lease (or sell) to anyone that isn't an adjoining property owner? Seems flawed...

Also onx matches the county records exactly when i compared it to the county GIS map.

OnX gets their data from the county GIS map, so that's why they match exactly.

We're are applying 2025 logic to something that was created in 1890. The west was way different back then.
They can lease or sell to anyone, but nobody but the adjoining LO is going enter into one of those deals unless an adjoining LO provides access. I'd guess that's what happens when mining on state land.

Read it again. It also includes "to aid in taking game". Traveling into an area definitely falls under the "aid in taking game" to me.

“Nothing in this Section shall apply to the operation of an aircraft in a usual manner where there is no attempt or intent to locate any game animal, such as aircraft used for the sole purpose of passenger transport.”

Traveling into an area falls under passenger transport.

I suspect it was way different in the sense a law owner wouldn't have to gall to block another landowner from having access to their property. I feel like this is likely a newer phenomenon.

There were cases of landowners shooting other landowners over water access and grazing range back in the day. There were huge ranches amassed by homesteaders being, “bought out” and never heard from again.

People have always been people and some of them have always sucked.
