Trump Order Could Finally Settle Heated Corner-Crossing Debate In Hunters’ Favor

A new executive order from President Donald Trump on public-land access could potentially settle the long-running corner-crossing debate in favor of hunters. The order calls for efforts to “unlock checkerboarded and landlocked parcels,” although legal experts say it remains unclear whether that will directly establish the legality of corner crossing.

The issue has drawn national attention after a Wyoming case involving four hunters reached the U.S. Supreme Court. Their attorney said it is still too early to know exactly how the new order will affect the legal dispute.
