I don't think its immoral for a person to not allow public access to said persons property. I do believe that it is immoral to block access to said public's property. I believe corner crossing is a valid tool for the public to access public property.
We are on the same page. What I mean by “their” is their deeded land.
I’m probably the biggest advocate for public land and public land access that you’ll ever meet. Clearly defined boundaries are good for everyone involved. Clearly mark the private land and don’t restrict access to the public...
That's what I'm saying. He'd define is property and not care what happens beyond it - including corner crossing to public land.
I don't agree with your last statement. Its not immoral for a person to not allow public access to their property.
If you cross knowing that there isn't a pin, aren't you crossing knowing that you're likely trespassing? So the intent would then be to trespass?
This is a great thing and a great decision, lets try not to mess it up. We should be raising money for surveyors to start setting pins!
A moral...

I was surprised to see that people are saying they are okay on private land but not public. The comments are also leaning toward that its not fair chase. Its not fair chase on public land but it is on private land? Weird.
There will always be something to try to justify land grabs. This excuse is no different than any other.
In Montana, it’s getting tough for the neighborhood rancher to hold on to his spread. They are land rich and money poor. The federal government is in the same boat, climbing national debt...
Hello Southern Elk!
The session is on a break this week so there's no updates. You should start seeing some stuff from BHA, Montana Wildlife Federation, etc. PLWA is trying to get the word out as much as possible - you should follow us on social media.
Problem: everyone is assuming that there's no public access. The bill doesn't say that. It says "isolated" state parcels. Isolated from what? Other state parcels? Adjoining public lands? Accessible by stream access? Did you not go into that detail? The bill sure doesn't. It puts 1.25 million...
We didn’t know about it until the night before it passed the house floor. PLWA is following it and we’ve got most of the other conservation groups on board too to oppose in the senate. It definitely slipped under everyone’s radar.
