Oh, you are absolutely correct. They aren't THEIR deer, they are our deer. We just have to wait until they get off THEIR property before we can shoot them, or should everyone put a high fence around their property?

See what I'm saying?


there are some people that do that... However it wouldn't benefit the hunter unless they had an insane amount of land.

What I have a problem with is these guys in the marsh that are claiming these canals that I grew up fishing. It's bullshite really.

Don't get me wrong. I respect hunters, wish them the best and offer advice if I have seen something. If people would learn to respect each other then it wouldn't be a problem.. However, when I spend $150 on a trip to fish I'm gonna fish.. And have just as much right to the WATER as that hunter

No, not really. Your $150 gets you lots of public water.

See, I don't have a dog in that fight, as I am from Central La. I do understand your plight and I really don't see the problem with people fishing unless I was trying to duck hunt my land at the time. Like I said earlier, I would be torn, but I think I lean towards the land owner.

Why are fish different from ducks, geeses or rabits? You can't come on private property and say "don't mind me, I only want to shoot that rabbit".......

Crawfishers need to stay off private property too.

You say claim? Is there any reason to think otherwise?

seal off canals with dirt/rock/whatever. Eliminate the ebb and flow of tide and the movement of fish/crabs/shrimp/etc into these areas. Like i said earlier, you cant have it both ways.

bullshite. Birds migrate just like fish. No reson to treat fishing and canals differently. Relic laws from Louisiana's backwoods past. Time to move on, joint the rest of the country and the 21st century.

If this is your defense, I suggest finding another. It's got holes all in it. Liken it to a private driveway on someone's property. If a deer walks up someone's drive, you can't follow up there and shoot it, can you? Then why in the hell should you be able to pull up their canal to chase a fish?

I have a barbed wire fence around my hunting land that has posted signs all over it.

Fenced in land/water =/= non-fenced in land/water

The now states that it is an individuals responsibility to know where they are at, not the landowner's to notify them. If I catch a guy on my lease he's going to be prosecuted I don't care if he's been hunting there his whole life or it's his first adventure. That's fact.

What do you consider the GATE part of "Gated off Canals"?

So if it is gated and fenced, you think it should not be hunted or fished? Regardless of tidal flow? I agree.

its not a defense its the way it is. Comparing deer on a driveway to fish in the water is apples to oranges.

If I dig an access canal from the edge of my property to the center and put up a gate to restrict others access, I do not see any reason anyone should consider that an invitation for them to trespass. Stay out. Catch fish at the gate. Do not open it and enter my private property. If you do, expect to be prosecuted or shot.

I'm out, it is obviousl people disagree.

Not according to the law, apparently. Canal=access to private property across private property=driveway

Deer=publicly owned game animal=fish

shooting deer by trespasser=catching fish by trespasser

law supports comparison=don't see the problem with comparison

No, it's really not. They own the land. They also happen to own the canal. We know you don't like it, but the fact remains, if you enter in your boat, you're a common trespasser.

Sounds like what us rednecks call pipelines. We can't trespass on those either.
