A federal appeals court has upheld a ruling affirming the state of Wyomingâs authority over wildlife on private land within the borders of Grand Teton National Park.
The effect of the case is that hunting within the inholdings scattered throughout the 310,000-acre national park remains legal. From the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals, federal judge Jerome Holmes dug into seven-decade-old documents that preceded the creation of the national park to make his decision.
âIn sum, because the Wyoming Legislature did not authorize any cessation of jurisdiction to the federal government over park inholdings in connections with the 1949-50 negotiations, no valid cession occurred,â Holmes wrote in an opinion issued Wednesday. âThe National Park Service, therefore, did not act arbitrarily or capriciously in rendering its November 2014 decision.â
