[QUOTE="Broz, post: 770889, member: 7503"] The game wardens I have talked to about this all agreed that corner jumping is illegal in Montana. I asked and understood that they had no problem issuing a ticket for it. But in the end it is the private land owner that has the right to prosecute for Trespass or hunting without permission. The ones that are willing to pursue the charges usually have the money to go the distance and have no problem spending it. It could get very costly for both sides pretty quickly. The fore-mentioned case that was thrown out is the only one I know of that involved illegal corner jumping. It is hard to say why the judge tossed it out. But I would not stake a fine or my tag on it being tossed out. Plus if I am not mistaken, there was some recent legislature passed to increase the fine and also the second offense went to $500 and loss of hunting privileges for 3 years. I am not sure if it made it all the way through but I was thinking it might have. I was in favor of this. We have prosecuted the same guy 3 times in 2 years and twice he had mule deer bucks down one the ranch. One he shot from the road right out his window.:rolleyes: Jeff [/QUOTE]
