You lost me at creek that is navigable water.
If you have access by boat to hunt it, you are more than likely legal. Don't get out of the boat to hide or retrieve or you could be in for a ticket.
If you can access it by boat and remain within the normal high water mark/normal flood stage, you are legal. Exceptions to this are game management land, and also gaining access to a private impoundment(example: rice fields near the coast) where the dike has been breached. This is for SC, not other states.
Trespassing to hunt waterfowl is 18 points...

Yeah definitely not chancing it. Not worth it in any way. I'm gonna call them back tomorrow and see if I catch someone different that might know the answer. Thanks
You talking about a creek next to a church?
call DNR and ask to speak to the warden that cover that area.
Somebody is already hunting it. No dat!
You'd be surprised at what the EPA defines as "navigable" under the new Clean Water Act.
To the OP, since you said there's a state road going down the side of this creek, more than likely the creek falls inside of the DOT's right-of-way. I'd call the local game warden and talk with him. If he can't give you a definitive answer on whether you can hunt it or not then I'm not sure how he can enforce a penalty for trespassing.
:FYT:
Two things are at play here.
1.) the Supreme Court is on your side as long as you stay in the boat as they have repeatedly ruled that "navigability in fact is navigability in law".
2.) Game Wardens, in my experience, come in two categories in regards to trespassing: those who won't fool with it and will tell you to call the county sheriff's office and those who don't know shit about what constitutes a property line and it's location. The latter tend to be arrogant pricks that, unknowingly, are their own worst enemy.
To the OP I will say, do your homework to find out who is the true owner of the property then make your decision as to what you wish to do in the future pertaining to hunting or not hunting. If your decision is to hunt it then you need to have your defense already in place. If you have no defense and still decide to hunt it then take whatever happens like a man, good or bad.

Tell them Buck Limehouse said you could hunt it.

If you are not paying the tax on the property, you are trespassing. Stay within the banks of the navigable stream.
Either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.
Furtunately, or unfortunately, depending on your perspective, that ain't necessarily true.
