Supreme Court Declines to Hear Corner-Crossing Case

Supreme Court Declines to Hear Corner-Crossing Case

The Supreme Court declined to hear a case involving four hunters from Missouri who crossed a corner in Wyoming, leaving the issue of access to millions of acres of public land in the West unresolved.

The justices did not provide a reason for declining to hear the case, which has been a point of contention for the public-land hunting community for years.

According to the hunters' attorney, Ryan Semerad, corner crossing remains legal in states covered by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, including Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.

However, the legality of corner crossing remains uncertain in other areas, leaving a gray area in the law.

No reasoning was provided by the justices for declining to hear the case.

The case has significant implications for access to public land in the West, with millions of acres potentially affected by the court's decision not to hear the case.

Author's summary: Court declines corner-crossing case.
