The way I understand it as long as the river is under the flood stage you can legally hunt anywhere you can get your boat without getting out of it to push, pull, or whatever it over land or other obstacles. I could be wrong but thats what I have always been told.

I think you are saying the same thing I am...That would be the normal channel of the river...If you are outside the banks of the normal channel, you are trespassing...

well I don't know but it seems to me, if you are motoring through someones bean field just from a common sense point it would seem you were trespassing, and if somebody was paying several thousand dollars to hunt that field, I think they would have the right to be pissed about it, I really don't know why but to me a river as big as the Mississippi with all that undeveloped land along it that floods seems to be a little different situation.. anyway I wish I had one of those bean fields on the tallahatchie and had to worry about running people off it, but instead I'm one of those poor souls hunting along the edge hoping for a hard freeze so a few ducks will work my setup...

Hey browndog, that's a good tactic, and perfectly legal. I do it all the time, with good success.

Flood waters outside the main channel of public waterways are private waters and posted by law. :!: :!: :!: :!:
