[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 613655, member: 28854"] Call BS all you want as you would lose your money! I spent many hours and made maps from a CD ROM I bought from the F&G years ago and each one has all the boundary waypoints marked on them. They cover almost all of Region M for deer where I hunt and you're correct in that many spots don't have fences marking the boundaries. In 2009 a rancher called the County Sheriff and F&G Warden and they were there as we got back to the truck after a morning hunt. He tried to say we were trespassing and pointed where we had been. I got my map of that section and GPS out and showed them that was all BLM property we were on next to his deeded land and that we were legal. The Warden I knew went on his way and the guy pressed the Deputy to cite us and was told it would be taken up with the County Prosecutor. I went over to the County seat in Worland a couple days later and talked to the Prosecutor, showed him what I had and he told me there would be no case with what I had just shown him. If I would have had that landowner chip in my GPS and tracks turned on I could have shown the Deputy right on the scene and it would have ended right there.
