****The ranch owner suing hunters for trespassing through his airspace to access public land****
Some large ranch land owners have been doing this for years. By blocking off land access it is as if they just enlarged their ranches by tens of thousands of acres.
One Wyoming rancher became so obnoxious that the local judge declared people fishing could boat on a river as long as they did not touch the bottom. The rancher owned the land, but not the water way passing over.
We had several great swimming holes near here who closed access by local land owners just to keep people out. One even closed a county road to join his property on both sides of the road.
That’s the law in most places. You may own the land underneath but not the water. Drives people nuts on lakes when boats fish their docks.
