WASHINGTON, D.C.—With more than 8 million acres of public lands on the line, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers (BHA) is once again mobilizing hunters, anglers, and public land owners to help fund the final legal battle in what may be the most pivotal public lands case of this generation. Iron Bar Holdings, LLC, has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a landmark decision by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals that upholds the legality of “corner crossing”—a method of accessing public lands at the shared corners of public and private lands laid out in a checkerboard configuration.
