Torch I was being a smart ass when I said that about the banks. I know what you mean. But if you have spent much time along the Mississippi river you know that those banks are not always visiable at levels below flood stage. There are many areas along the river that flood long before the river jumps its banks or reaches the so called flood stage. Water in these areas backs up creeks and streams that flow into the river and they flood vast amounts of land long before the river ever jumps the banks you speak of. In the past these areas have always been legal to hunt because they fell into the boundaries of the previous interpretation of the law that what ever water was navigable before flood stage was normal river water. What ever the water level was above the flood stage was illegal. This new interpretation seems to dispell that notion. So does that mean that every public body of water (attached to the main channel) that was created by a spur levee (what we call the old rivers) but is off the main chanel and inside the "natural levee" but not the man made levee is now the property of the adjoining land owners for there private use and no long public water.

That sure is a scary idea to me. But then again I don't like the idea of a levee system at all so to each his own. :?

Why is my mouth so dry this morning, when I drank so much last night?
