If the only way to access that land is through the corners of that guys property, by preventing access that way he essentially gets that land for his own personal use.

I get that, but it's still pretty disgusting. As if tens of thousands of acres of land and millions of dollars in the bank isn't enough for someone. These people are a stain on humanity.

  Wealthy people have no idea what "enough" means. This guy could use his time to explore a different acre of his own land every day for 50 years and still not visit his entire property. Instead he's going to court to try to block people from accessing land that isn't even his. EDIT: Yup, I would have bet my life on it. The plaintiff is the kind of guy who donates millions to an organization to overturn the 2020 election, and then sued them for damages when they failed to overturn it [1]. And when a federal judge cast doubt on his lawsuit, he dismissed it and immediately re-sued in state court, shopping for a better judge. What a piece of work! 1: https://wyofile.com/corner-crossing-landowner-gave-millions-to-conservatives-conservation/ https://wyofile.com/corner-crossing-landowner-gave-millions-...

He also illegally put chains up to prevent access to the public land across the corner. He also sent his ranch employees to harass the hunters while they were on public land. Clowns.

  All of that seems like evidence that he fully intended to seize this public land for his private use, and I think he should be very seriously fined for that.

That's exactly why crossing private property to reach public land should be allowed. Not just corner crossing, but actually walking across his land. As long as you don't damage anything, don't enter or peek into any buildings, and that's a reasonable way to reach public land. The whole idea that you could claim public land for private use by blocking access to it should be wildly illegal.

But it's not the only way. You could paramotor in and out for example.
