This land is whose land? False ‘No Trespassing’ signs could become illegal - WyoFile

CHEYENNE — It’s not hard to find misleading “no trespassing” and “private property” signs erected on public land in Wyoming, a tactic used to dissuade

Bill passed and heading to Gordon's desk for signing...unless he veto's it.

This was 100% a bill pushed by WYBHA from start to finish and we got it done in one session.

Hiring a lobbyist is paying dividends.

Well done lets keep our fingers crossed.

How does it feel to be part of the swamp?

sorry didn't read the article yet.

but isn't posting land that you don't own already illegal?

either way, love it, and thanks for the hard work buzz.

I support this obviously, but the bill was greatly watered down by the amendment which gives the landowner a mulligan by requiring prior notice by an LEO that signage is improper. We as sportsman don't get that luxury. If you violate statute or regulation there is no "get out of jail free card". Seems like sportsman always are treated different than landowners. That's my observation anyways.

Ol’ Sy and his boys are gonna be glad that their “land outfitted by” signs are one inch onto private, but made to look as including the adjacent public lands all across Wyoming.

That's no shit. Sly Sy has been falsely posting public lands for many decades. S&S outfitters, translates to Slimy and Sleazy.

Good deal, let's just hope the LEO are willing to enforce the new law on the books as aggressively as they are trespassing.

Should be a federal offense to post or block access to public lands. That should be universal in every state.
