Corner Crossing latest

Makes no sense.
They fence to keep their livestock within a boundary... whether to keep them in or out, or on a rotational basis. Just like everywhere else in this country.

If the fence is "reasonable and IAW normal farming practices" there is zero chance of being successful in an obstruction charge... IMO.

Yeah, unless they are raising giraffes and have a nine-foot fence, then I cannot see that being adjudicated as legal.

If the fence is on a corner then it is just as much on public as it is on private.

I get that but how many of the folks like Elk Mountain actually have fence up? Double edged sword there, having a fence to even attempt to deter corner crossing would at the same time designate the implied actual corner. I have no idea being from the midwest and not dealing with this.
 
When I surveyed properties most build the fence on their own property, as they are supposed to do.
Man you can get in hot water over that, there's obviously lots of grey area and nuance, but if a fence is there long enough it can become the property line in spite of what a survey may say. My parents won a property dispute based on it.

Over building a fence within your property boundaries.

No... you get into hot water building the fence on other people's properties or on public without written permission.

Not on my properties. I keep my fences well inside of the line for a reason. They are NOT the property line.

Not on public land. There is no "Adverse Possession" of public land.

One thing landowners could do is put the corner posts of their fences 4" from the center of the corner monument on both private portions of land. Leaving an 8" gap for corner crossers to try and squeeze through. I know I wouldn't get my fat ass through without damaging private property.
