The owner of Elk Mountain Ranch claims that four hunters corner-hopped to hunt public land near his property and caused damages that could exceed $7 million. Iron Bar attorney Gregory Weisz signed a disclosure statement that alleges damages of between $3.1 million to $7.75 million. The document was signed Aug, 29, 2022, and served to those involved in the corner-crossing case. A decision that corner crossing or other ways of accessing public land is not trespassing could devalue a ranch because the ranch would no longer be closed property. The suit claims the men trespassed by passing through the airspace above the ranch, interfering with “the exclusive use, possession, and control” of the property. The disclosure statement is four pages long and is supported by what one source said is another 104 pages of deeds, an appraisal and other material.
