[QUOTE="Topgun 30-06, post: 1107730, member: 28854"] "It is also not legal to cross at corners where public and private land are interspersed in a checkerboard looking pattern." That statement is actually incorrect because there is nothing in the Wyoming laws that makes it legal or illegal. In fact, when the G&F cited a guy for it a few years ago he took it to court and won. After that the top brass issued orders to the GWs not to enforce any complaints that strictly involve corner crossing and they use Garmin GPS and chips just like we do to check on landownership boundaries. It is a different story depending on what county you're hunting in because the County Sheriff may decide to enforce it and issue a ticket. Then it's up to the person to decide whether it's worth challenging in court or just paying the ticket. The previous comments on hunting unit 24 are correct in that there are only one or two chunks of public land that are legally accessible. One is where hwy 450 hits public land in a couple spots, as mentioned above, and the others are where Bishop Road hits approximately 1500-2000 acres. That sounds like a lot, but out there it is chump change and may not hold a single animal.
