RE: Hunting Rights On Water???
Be real careful.
Here in OHIO 90+ percent of the time you can drift in a boat on the water with out a anchor and hunt .
But if there are washed away dikes or dike remants that at one time defined the water area seperate from the open areas you can and will be ticketed for tresspassing.
In my area there is a hunt club that owens land around and in Mud creek bay area ,in Sandusky bay ,run by BIG MONEY .
Because there are parts of the old dikes (in most areas the water is 2-3' over the top) the water inside the diked in area is all private propety as if the dikes were above the water level and the area was just flooded.
Several freinds got tickets last year for tresspassing while duck hunting . There are signs every so far apart , in the dark they did not see them.
Told that ,they should have checked to make sure where they were.
As I said big money
If you drop anchor on a river , bay,ECT you may be tresspassing but if you drift you probely be ok
