Floating (on a river, lake, pond, stream) through private land with the intent to access public land that is bordered by the river, lake, pond, or stream that the hunter is floating on is permissible.
Shooting big game animals that are in water is prohibited"
I'd probably go along with that. If you step foot out of the boat on private land, you are trespassing. I'd get a little nervous about guys shooting rifles out of a boat though, most can't shoot of a bench..
