I cannot fathom how any hunter would be okay with what this jerk is trying to pull off here.
If this turns out in favor of the private landowner, and we the citizens are denied access to the public land, then I guess I don't understand why the landowner (also a citizen, in addition to being a landowner) should legally enjoy sole access to that "public" entity. In other words, if the landowner wins this case, he wins WAY more than just private property rights. How is that fair?John
Thanks for your reply, ducks4days.Your lake access analogy is interesting to consider.I guess that situation usually results in people like me carelessly referring to that body of water as a "private" lake, whereas I never consider public land surrounded by private land to be "private." I guess it's the private access to a public resource that chaps my hide. Like you say, it's not always fair.John

There would have to be chunks of public and private that met at a point on the shoreline
I think the government is going to have to step in and pay for a wider easement. If they say you can step over the corner someone will ride an ebike over the corner, then a motorcycle, then a quad, then a side by side, then a jeep and finally drag a travel trailer through there. Probably all illegal actions but it’s what happens. I’ve seen it all over the colockum.
