No offense but this presumption is false and, IMHO, is the biggest liability to public land hunters if there is any sort of precedent set in the corner crossing debacle. Even if it becomes allowable via court ruling at "established and monumented" (by a professional land surveyor) corners, plenty of hunters will set off with their phone (which ain't a Trimble, FYI) to find the corner on their map, end up trespassing on private property, and be ticketed for it. I've spent enough time in my career wandering around looking for survey monuments that I'll bet you a case of beer you aren't going to find the one you're looking for when it counts. I want more access to public lands just like the rest but I feel like we may just be inviting more clashes with landowners. Hell, we might do better by just donating that extra dollar to the Access Yes program instead of these guys legal defense fund.You are right I haven't lost anything because I am afraid to do it as well. I don't want my hunt to end up in court with some fat cat landowner breathing down my neck either. I hunt way into national forest, I don't even get within miles of property lines. I was just kind of playing devils advocate that someone should be watching all involved.
I guess a case could be made that "everyone" would lose a chance to be able to corner cross in the future if these guys don't succeed. If there were hard rules in favor of it I would do it. GPS technology is accurate enough for it to be legal in my opinion.
