I figured it public land because DPW recently had to barge through my fence to do some work on the creek for drainage. Also I assume it is public as this creek heavily foods during rains and it would make sense that the state( or local) would own the creek and the surrounding banks so that they can dig it wider, as they've done in the past.

Only fence I crossed the whole time was my fence along the creek. No signs anywhere on that property.

This is smack dab in the middle of BR

Just because the local drainage board has an easement on the property to clean or widen the ditch, doesn't mean it's public. Someone owns the land and it is not you. Public land as it relates to a river or stream is only to the ordinary high water mark of said river or stream.

That's why you can canoe down a river without any problems, but when you camp, you better stay below the OHWM.

Not sure about LA but you were trespassing in MS and would be ticketed for hunting there, not all public land is avalable for hunting, and that is assuming the land is public.

Public land refers to multi-acre rural properties known as WMA's, National Forest, etc. Not, a drainage ditch you followed past a neighborhood to the first undeveloped small block of woods that I guarantee are privately owned.
