Interesting piece.

"With the criminal case settled, Iron Bar Holdings and Eshelman took the matter to civil court. They claimed that the hunters had violated the ranch’s air space and devalued ranch by millions of dollars. The civil case was also decided in the hunters’ favor."

No mention regarding the magnitude of the civil case. U.S. 10th District is a far cry from a State's county court civil case.
Curious why the journo didn't share the extent of the "civil court". Maybe simple and to the point.

This article appears more in-depth.

Bill would make corner crossing legal in Wyoming, settling long-running debate

A bill filed in the Wyoming Legislature would clarify that corner crossing is not trespassing, an explanation that would resolve long-simmering access questions to 2.4 million acres of public land

Curious with Wyoming's new majority "Freedom" Caucus, and their RINO assertion, where do they stand on Corner Crossing? Any of the co-sponsorers members of the Freedom Caucus?

I am surprised that this is even a possibility. All I hear about this year's WY legislature is that it is extreme right wing, which seems like the least likely to pass something that will benefit the masses. If it does pass, it would be HUGE.

Keep and mind that Wyoming is a solid red state. The voters sent Liz Cheney packing because they thought she was a RINO. The only liberal centers are the bigger cities. The only thing that would stop this law for going forward are the powerful politicians was believe it or not or controlled by a powerful ranchers and landowners. I would expect this bill vote results to side on landowner rights.

it is extreme right wing

I don't know what right wing means. It seems labels are used way too much and don't provide any specifics.

Technically corner crossing is already legal in WY from the court case already mentioned. The appeal is to overrule that and pretty much put it back in limbo again. However a lot of the legislature are ranchers/farmers or have strong connections to ranchers/farmer The governor himself owns a decent size ranch so this bill faces uphill odds and a democrat introducing it doesn't help since now politics seems to be more about not giving the other side any kind of credit regardless of how good their idea is.
