YOU WERE RIGHT DELTA DUCK, VERY FEW DUCKS AROUND DARLING. THEY ARE STILL HITTING THAT 800 ACRE FLOODED CORN FIELD AT BIRDIE THOUGH. I TOOK A TRIP DOWN HWY 32 BETWEEN WEBB AND
CHARLESTON TODAY AND THERE WERE GOOD NUMBERS OF GREEN HEADS AND POCKET ROCKETS (GW TEAL) AROUND THE BUZZARD BAYOU AREA. I FOUND A BIG FLOODED BEEN FIELD OFF OF LAMB FISH BRIDGE NEAR BRAZIL THAT IS COVERED UP. IT BUTS UP AGAINST THE TALLAHATCHIE NWR AND NOBODY HAS HUNTED IT ALL YEAR. DON'T KNOW THE OWNER BUT MIGHT SLIP IN THERE THIS WEEKEND. "CAN'T CATCH ME I'M THE GINGER BREAD MAN"[/quote]

on the west side of the bridge? A man name Weeks has it leased. On the East side of the bridge is part of a club that hunts it regular.

what are you talking about??? The Tallahatchie NWR doesn't go that far South to Lamb Fish Bridge????? Either way I wouldn't poach that land If I were you. That area gets a lot of traffic.

That could be an expensive hunt. That area is all leased and well traveled on weekends and will be during the next 2 weeks. The best way to ruin the pleasure of hunting is to trespass and look over your sholder all day. I obviously speak from experience from my youth!

Trespassing fine is about what a guided hunt cost :lol:

My family owned the place east of Lambfish bridge for many years until it sold a couple of years ago. I heard that it has sold again to the guy who bought York Woods (television magnate from Atlanta - NOT Ted Turner). You might want to be careful poaching there.

I don't think that poaching that property would be smart. I have a bean field less than a mile noth of the bridge, and we have had birds on it all season. Well evidently peope have been seeing these birds off of the road and getting their courage up late in the season. On Saturday morning there was a group set in my blind, that had pulled their boat over the levee. They leased the property next to ours and we didn't think poaching was a problem so we let them go woth a warning. They flared birds off of us for about an hour will they picked up, drug their boat back over the levee, and reset up. Then about 8:30 a pair of guys road into the field by boat and were going to set up until they saw the us. I was tired of it by this time and was ready to prosecute. I tried to flag them down, but that didn't work, and I couldn't get to the boat in time to catch them. Out of all this we still managed to get a three man limit. But the poaching is going to be stopped.

Poaching really goes up when th river gets out, because you can put a boat in a bayou/slough/or the river and ride the whole county almost until you find the ducks and just go right to them. their is also water where it normally isn't.

I talked to a wildlife officer yesterday and his advice on hunting a river out of the banks was this.....If its posted when its dry, it posted when it wet. Just because the river id out of the banks doesn't give anyone the right to go motoring wherever the water will let you. As delta duck mentioned, a fine will cost you what a guided hunt would cost, sooooo, don't trespass or poach. If posecuted, ignorance is not a defense, it won't fly in court.

I was talking about trespassing, I'm thinking about joining the Road Riding hunting club. You only pay your membership if you get caught. :lol:

I've got a Uncle that has alot of land near that Lambfish bridge. I think most of it is leased out. He will bust yo ass, if you trespass :wink:

I was always under the impression that if an area was navicable (sp?) by boat, then it was free game.

I would never do this, but I am sure some people feel that it is perfectly legal.

Postby **Greenhead22** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 9:40 am

I've heard the same thing, the water is considered to be public, and if you don't anchor down, you are legal. I've never done this before but I've many older people tell me this. It's just hard for me to believe that I could hunt someone elses lease that borders mine just because the water on us flooded onto them, thus allowing me to use a boat to hunt their side of the slough without anchoring the boat or using decoy weights. Maybe SB or Duckwarden can straighten out the info on this.

The law changed a while back.You can no longer be outside the normal banks of the waterway.If you are,you are tresspassing on the person who owns or leases the land thats under the water!
