As a landowner what I'd expect from a land surveyor is locating the boundary. The boundary I'd expect would be the one according to my states law. Y...

If they are geotechnical bore holes they don't need to be that tight. I'd suspect someone that doesn't understand the needed specs did them, you migh...

Yeah, the bull elk will just stand in the middle of THEIR road. If you crashed into one of them going 90, yeah, it would make a MESS for sure. Did P...

I'm sort of careful during some hunts, mainly the deer hunt. Avoid being in the woods if I can and wear high vis if I do go out. I don't hunt myself ...

I don't know about that John. I'd need to see the RR's ROW deed that called for the spiral. The few RR deeds that I've encountered where simple curv...

Yeah, there should be a deed from a private party to the RR or a grant from the US if it was on un patented land. The few RR's I've worked on all had ...

Looks like this can be done on an Android with maps so I'm going to try it. I'll need to get a backup battery pack as when GPS location is on it drai...
