trespassing

“The Hunters could corner-cross as long as they did not physically touch Iron Bar’s land,” the three-member court wrote in a unanimous decision.

With the Wyoming legislative session now about halfway through, we take a look at how some of this year’s hunting-related bills fared. Spoiler alert: most of them didn’t gain much traction.

There will continue to be limitations on when a game warden can issue a trespassing ticket to hunters in Wyoming, as a house committee voted down a bill that would have changed the law.Currently, game wardens are somewhat limited in issuing trespassing tickets. If they catch someone in the act of hunting on private property they can issue a ticket, but they cannot write a ticket if they catch someone trespassing prior or post hunting. That is because the person is only trespassing, so it is not in the warden’s jurisdiction.
