Did this change happen just this year?
yes
That is huge, I wonder how the tribes are feeling about that ruling? So can every private property owner claim the same thing? like Wheyrehouser (probably spelled wrong) ? It must be going to the courts? And why did it take sooooo long for someone to think of this? Anyway, sorry for jacking a thread. Just a little bit excited about it. Any info on a link to a news report or anything Tex? Thanks.
No links that I know of. The big "breaking point" with Hancock is that you have to pay to enter their property, whereas with a lot of Rayonier or Weyerhauser land it is simply wide open gates, there isn't really a access restriction.
