Manny, Moe, and Jack Are Hunters

question 30

Essay

Manny, Moe, and Jack are hunters. In 1990 they discovered what appeared to be a deserted hunting lodge in the woods. The lodge had no indoor plumbing, no running water, and no heating system other than a fireplace. The building is a 1-mile hike from the nearest road. Every year since 1990, they have returned to the lodge and used it as a base during the deer and elk hunting seasons that occur in the fall and winter months. They spend a total of six weeks a year using the lodge. They have cleaned the place up, cut and stacked firewood, and even stored clothing inside when they weren't there. The owner of the lodge has noticed the stacked firewood but hasn't traveled to the lodge during hunting season to find out who is using the property even though he is disturbed that the property is being used without his permission. After the statutory period has run, have Manny, Moe, and Jack acquired title to the property?
