I’m betting it will be upheld. Glad to see it favor the average joe.

Anyone want to start manufacturing and selling "ultra-light" ladders? Lol if that's the loophole that stays open im sure we will see a market for them in no time.

Haha, sounds like there is a market for that now.

Holy cats! This Fall will be a rodeo.

 

[AppalachianHollers]

So is the result of this case hinging on the fact they used a ladder, thereby avoiding causing any damage to the fence? Or is it just a matter of convenience?

Interesting, I should have became a lawyer instead of a scientist. This should allow many frustrated public people who have been manipulated and intimated by sociopathic landowners a chance to ratify the old narrative of land control in this country.

I can see Kifaru or Firstlite now "Get your digicamo telescopic carbon fiber ladders here!" The cornerxrossr 2.0 is new and improved with 80% faster deployment

Sad that we need judges to rule on what reasonable, considerate people already know to be true.. 2 things:
1) I'm glad we still have judges that rule rightly
2) The love of money is the root of all evil, to include laziness (in which those who are, steal)

Seems like when you read the whole article even swinging around a fencepost was fine due to the fact no land owner can impede access to public land.

Tell me more about how Waypoint 6 came to be ...

Landowners are just going to erect a 8 or 10 foot fence located at those corners to keep people from putting a ladder over. I hope they clear things us as far as what is “restricting access” and what is a boundary fence. It is not unreasonable to have a 8’ tall barbed wire fence surrounding your perimeter. But it is unreasonable that it wouldn’t be restricting somebody from crossing corners.

In my state, you are not allowed to erect a fence that tall and then hunt in it. No clue what the laws are out there, but might be similar.

This is great news. It's a huge step in the right direction for public land.

Elk wars: Inflated herds spur committee duel, radical proposals - WyoFile

Two elk-related bills are poised to emerge from the Agriculture Committee, where lawmakers took on an unassigned topic because of dissatisfaction with another committee’s response.

Im also excited to see how this pans out. Rancher are fed up with elk eating the grass for cows but also are anti public access to their lands.

I hope they don't resort to shooting them from helicopters. Allowing public access could bring a lot of people joy and put a lot of meat in freezers.

My understanding is it'll still be years before the appeals are done and precedent is set. And this is limited in scope to Wyoming only. It'll require similar cases in other western states for this to apply elsewhere.

No they aren't. They want transferable land owner tags so they can sell them for big $$. None of them would be supportive of cow tags only.

My understanding is if it got appealed (twice?) to the Supreme Court and is upheld based upon UIA, it sets precedent for every state. That is a long ways from where we are now though.
