Corner Crossing with PERC | Episode 271
Aug 1502:08:47Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, host Randy Newberg is joined by Dylan Soares, an attorney and conservationist with the Property and Environment Research Center (PERC), to dive deep into the legal and practical implications of corner crossing—a hot topic in public land access. The discussion begins with an overview of the high-profile Wyoming corner-crossing case, where four hunters were acquitted of criminal trespass but later faced a civil lawsuit. Dylan explains the legal nuances between criminal and civil trespass, the role of the Unlawful Enclosures Act, and how the 10th Circuit Court ruled that state trespass laws are preempted in cases where public land is effectively blocked by private landowners.

The guys explore Utah's latest attempt to demand 18 million acres of BLM lands be transferred to Utah. Utah is known for selling their state lands to fund their school system. What's the motivation? Why now? This is another repackaged effort to rekindle the movement to rid America of its public lands. Utah is spending millions and millions to do this. The attacks are not going away, rather just marketed under new names with different tactics. Listen up folks, they want your land! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Transcribe →Public Access & Conservation with American Prairie | Episode 252
Oct 1, 202401:12:21Tap to summarizeIn this episode (#252) of Leupold's Hunt Talk Radio, Randy is joined by Mike Kautz and Paul Kemper of American Prairie, known as AP. Topics focus on access and conservation. AP has enrolled 88,000 acres of their private land in Montana's Block Management access program, along with allowing access across their private land to reach otherwise inaccessible public lands. The focus is on an uncrowded "quality experience," not necessarily big animals. AP has a herd of 800 bison and leases their lands to cattle operators where over 8,000 cattle graze to sustain a grassland system dependent upon grazing. Mike and Paul explain how AP uses hunting as a wildlife management tool, along with many other activities that occur on their lands. Conservation of habitat and species is the primary goal, being accomplished in a very interesting manner. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
