Default RE: Hunting Rights On Water???

My knowlege on the law, may be different then you, but if you can access the water through any public means (via a public right a way or public land) and you remain on the water (in a boat) or on an island in the waterbody you have all the hunting rights and the land owner can't do a thing. I have heard variations on this law about the original water level being huntable if you can access it through public means. I am not 100% sure on these laws. Best thing to do is call your Conservation Officer and have him clarify it.
