The Supreme Court declined to hear the corner-crossing case, which originated from four hunters from Missouri crossing a corner in Wyoming.
The court announced that it would not hear the case, which could have provided a final decision on accessing millions of acres of public land in the West, without providing any reasoning.
According to the hunters' attorney, Ryan Semerad, corner crossing remains legal in states covered by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, including Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah.
However, the issue remains a legal gray area in other parts of the country.
The justices provided no reasoning for declining to hear the case.
This decision means that the issue, which has been a point of contention in the public-land hunting community for years, is partially settled in the West.
Author's summary: Supreme Court declines corner-crossing case.
