I don't know if this has already been posted or not, but the #1 thing I'd recommend is to call the Casper and Sheridan offices of Wyoming Game and Fish and request landowner lists. WYOGA maintains lists of landowners who allow access on their ranches. Most charge a small fee, some are nearly free and some expensive.

I've hunted on several ranches in the area between Kaycee and Buffalo toward the Bighorns for a few hundred dollars per hunter. We've shot a bunch of Pronghorns, whitetails and mule deer this way. You've basically got a ranch nearly to yourself with lots of game for a very low cost.

Sorry, but the WY G&F Regional Offices quit keeping lists like that several years ago, but there are a few places that are on the G&F website itself in the public access section! The best way now is to call the closest C of C Office in a town nearest to where you are thinking about hunting to see if they can put you in touch with any ranchers.

I have no idea how Montana has modified or modernized this traditional rule. Being from E. Ky my practice with such questions has focused on the subsurface and minerals.

I do not see how one other than flying in one could corner hop and not touch the private land.

Maybe I was wrong since you said you wouldn't make any more comments on this access situation, but here you are again! Your last sentence makes no sense at all because if there is a metal pin marking a corner like we're talking about it's very simple to step over it from one public section to the other public section without touching the private land UNLESS maybe you're drunk, LOL!!!

I was responding to a friend not you. I am not the one telling folks to trespass. I have an extra unnecessary one in that sentence, but everyone but you seems to follow it just fine.

You Sir are so out of it when it comes to this thread that you should honor your statement and just read and not post! How would you know that everyone else is following it just fine when nobody else has even responded to you, LOL?!!! NOBODY, including myself, is telling anyone to set foot on private property or trespass to hunt the public land that all of us taxpayers own!

Kinda in limbo and politician don’t wanna address it being beholden to private landowners
I have no idea why
Technically nobody owns air above the ground as long as you don’t touch it is my opinion
Any lawyers with ideas about this?
Just looking for simple opinion

Randy Newberg did a deal where they helicoptered into a big BLM or forest service land locked property in Montana. I don't know what the outome was, as I didn't watch the show.

That's because in Montana there is an actual statute that outlaws corning jumping, unlike WY where there is no such law when it pertains to accessing public land to hunt and fish. I watch all of the shows Randy does and he has now dropped his TV affiliation with the Sportsman Channel and is on Youtube and will now air all of his shows first on Amazon Prime before they eventually go to his Youtube channel. Amazon Prime only costs $11.99 a month and there are tons of shows, music, etc. such that outdoor TV shows are becoming a thing of the past, which IMHO is great because the biggest share of them suck! You can actually land in some public areas to do that, while some you have to hover real low and drop your stuff out and then jump a few feet down. Randy did that show with no enforcement problems coming up at all. Some spots even have areas where it's legal to land a plane and hunt the same day, unlike in AK, and Wyoming is one of those states as far as accessing state land that way in some bigger areas. However, you have to fly out that night because WY doesn't allow any camping or fires on state land.
