Does anyone know what the rules/regs/laws are regarding hunting shorelines? There's a local lake close to me that I hunt a few times a year at the public beach. During the winter they open a dam and lower the water a couple feet, which exposes the shoreline about 10-15' from water to mean high water mark all the way around the lake. Does a home/cottage owner own the shore to (or past) the water regardless of where the water is, or do they own to the high water mark?
This is in CT and I realize states may vary, but there's so much exposed shore it would be great to just walk around the lake without asking permission every 30 feet.
I've also had people b*tch at me while fishing too close to a dock, I'd imagine it would probably be the same while detecting.
