Wyoming Corner Cross: landowner claims Millions in damages

[jrebel]

What's the legality of shooting over someone's land??  Say in a checkerboarded example like is being discussed, a hunter shoots over a baren piece of land that is owned by a rancher and kills an animal on a public piece.  Even if they took the long way around to legally access w/o corner crossing....would that be trespassing?

In WY it's illegal without permission:

23-3-305. Hunting from highway; entering enclosed property without permission;
penalty; hunting at night without permission prohibited.

(d) No person knowingly shall fire any rifle from the enclosed lands of one person
onto or across the enclosed lands of another without the permission of both persons.

Thank you....This helps define airspace, at least in my mind.  If you can't shoot across private, a hovercraft would likely be illegal.  .

I believe that the lawyer for the plaintiff brought up that this was solely about airspace.

So looking at the pictures of the corner in question. Before there was no chain or barbed wire across the corner. Then the landowner when and put a chain and absorbed wire across the corner to try and prohibit people from accessing the public land through that corner. It would appear that he put those with the sole purpose of barring access to the public land. He didn’t go so far as to actually fence off the corner though. I would say that violated the enclosures act due to the fact that he blocked a portion of public land in order to prohibit the public from accessing public land, not from trespassing on his property.

That actually does not indicate where the borders are

The stake is the marker for the corner. There are previous photos showing that you could walk in between the tposts and then he put barbed wire and chain across the corner from tpost to tpost

Then my boy built a special ladder to get over all that bullchit and hunt in God's country

Another funny aspect to the whole thing, the guy that built the ladder is a professional fence builder

That junk of pipe at the bottom of the photo,in between the T posts.

If I were BLM I'd tell him to remove the chain, it's corner crossing too

Thats how I see it. Looks like it’s across public land blocking access to public land. Maybe they should just have that hunter build a permanent ladder there 🤷
