There usually is. In theory, and I do emphasize THEORY, it is against the law to land lock public land. Landowners are supposed to provide access to public land. The kicker is, if there is any way possible to get to that public land another way, then they don't have to provide it. Plus, all the landowners around a property can fight and argue for years who is "supposed" to grant access. Most let it die and all is forgetten and these chunks sit out there land locked.

You can cause a fuss going through your local government or even the feds if it's BLM, FS, etc., but you do have a gripe and rights to that land. Beware that the landowners usually have good lawyers (seems like they get one free for owning that much land! ) and when they get involved it can become worthless. They know all the tricks to lock up the process.

In SW Wyo, alot of effort is going on to provide public access to this type of land and Wyoming even has an "Access Yes" program to help "buy" access into areas.

Bottomline, if you know of a piece that is land locked, do a little digging or stir the pot a bit. You might end up on it next hunting season or you might cussing yourself for even trying!! [:@]
