[QUOTE="Broz, post: 756501, member: 7503"] I think we are back to the bill that was just turned down. The problem with corner jumping is. First lets clarify , 4 corners come together, two tips touch that are public, but the other two tips are private. The private section we are trying to access is surrounded by private land on all 4 sides. This point comes down to a pin point where we drive a stake. That is not an access point. To remain off the private ground you would have to step across the stake very carefully. There could be no gate to signify entry and a legal survey would need to be done to find the point for the stake. Even a 18" wide foot trail would be encroaching onto the private land. What if there is a tree, large bush, large rock, rock ledge in the path? Then what would the public do? This is why I feel that bill encouraged trespass on private land. Back to that stake in the ground, where the 4 points come together. There is no way to get a deer or elk out by dragging , 4 wheeler, horse, or game cart. All meat would have to be packed and still the[B] fact[/B] that this access point would involve people using private ground is real. Now we know many of these corners are NOT marked. So our hand held GPS's is what we would use. They are accurate to within 10 to 20 feet. And I know on mine the arrow covers close to that. So we could at best only get close to the point and would indeed be trespassing. I just don't feel corner jumping would ever be the answer. There needs to be surveys, and trades, purchases or easements obtained for a legal access area. The reason it is called corner jumping is because that is just what it is. You have to jump or take a long step to get across it. Jeff [/QUOTE]
