I am sure this has been touched upon but I have heard it both ways. Can a hunter access a public land area by use of the water. I asked the Fwp about it once and they said that I couldn't access a state piece by using the high water mark for big game hunting. The first thing that came to my mind was well about 95 percent of hunters in the breaks are accessing it illegally then ( which made no sense), I thought that can't be right so I asked again and got the same answer. In the regs however there is nothing that says that. The regs only say that you cant hunt the islands between the high water mark without permission granted by the adjacent landowner. Well what if that island is state or blm, or the high water mark of the river touches blm or state? Can you legally access it?
