I was wondering where I could find (in writing) the regulations on hunting public land as far as rivers and lakes are concerned. I have always "heard" it was legal without a WMA permit, but have never seen this written. I have also "heard" that you needed a WMA permit to hunt on lake Keowee. Hopefully you all can help me find this information. Also before anyone goes off on me for being a "newbie" let me defend myself beforehand.
-I am an ethical hunter, I won't set up on top of you, I get up early to get to my spot if someone is there I go somewhere else. I hunt by myself just me and my dog. That is why I hunt ducks, for the pure satisfaction of seeing my dogs work for me. As a matter of fact I have offered to go with others just so my dogs can work and me not hunt, but holes are so secretive around here it is pitiful. I understand I won't tell you where I hunt either I just want to stay legal and have a good time.
