Supreme Court conflict over hunting and fishing rights in Illinois waters
The article debates a Supreme Court ruling that submerged land owners have sole rights to hunt and fish on waters abutting their property, opposing state game laws. It discusses deeds dating to 1841 signed by John Tyler, claims of ownership of Lake Senachwine shoreline, and questions whether public navigability or U.S. deeds should govern hunting and fishing trespass.
