Broken Dike

[KwackSmacker]

The kwacksmacker don't care. kwacksmacker do what he want. It's why he's the kwacksmacker.

Yeah, I don't know if I'm a big enough renegade to hop in a DNR impoundment haha

[KwackSmacker]

Be careful, you might get hit in the head with an egg weight....

you know

Public people acting like public people

Truth

How long has the dike been broken?

[KwackSmacker]

I don't even know of a broken dike. As I said, a buddy of mine and I were discussing the legality behind of it. Then everyone on here got triggered

I thought KS was an idjit to start with.

Now, I know.

The only shocking part of this thread is that people even consider shit like this. Unbelievable. It's not your property, you contributed nothing but think there is some legal basis to help yourself.

I agree it’s unethical and I would not do because I have to fight bastards like this. However, the water is not yours and if it is navigable it fair game. When it comes to what you own and what’s trespassing. I’m not talking about hunting.

Don’t let these guys deter you. They are just trying to keep it to themselves.

[kayakkillshots]

Just put 100lbs of cracked corn in the shallow end of your local farm pond and call it a day.....

[fowlshot]

It's not illegal if you don't get caught...just make sure you can beat DNR to the landing too

[formerly bohica]

If you are referring to property on the santee, two that come to mind are both still in the grace period to have them repaired, and permits have been granted. Its trespassing.

[BOGSTER]

Couple things...

There are certain places in SC where eminent domain stands.
Both branches of the Cooper river come to mind.
I personally believe that folks that own dilapidated fields should be able to re-dike them.

On the topic of DNR managed impoundments:
I’m not going to be the one to try it, but it would be entertaining to see a court case play out, considering that I’m not real certain how you can be prosecuted for “trespassing” on public (state owned) lands.

There is a certain Cat 1 WMA draw that gets snuck literally every hunt.
Mallards and knowing there is only 1 warden and endless ways out, make folks silly.

[Swamp Rat]

The way it was explained to me, purely from the legal side (as it seems we agree on the ethical side)...

If the landowner is paying property taxes on the mud under your boat, you are trespassing.

[BOGSTER]

I agree, but that is not the case on the Cooper and a few other areas with dike breaches over 50 years old.

[drwilly]

recent conversation w a veteran game warden said it was trespassing but isn't surprised by people trying it

[drwilly]

I had to check if this was posted in the swamp before clicking on it

How long has the dike been broken?

Since the great scissor incident of '16.

Lest We Not Forget

[Tater]

No, you can't enter under that scenario without trespassing. You're describing avulsion and property lines do NOT move with avulsion. They will move with accretion but dikes do not suffer from accretion.

[Tater]

Time doesn't turn avulsion into accretion so a 50 year old dike break due to avulsion is still due to avulsion and the property line does not move with it.
