It's interesting though because some of our transplanted elite didn't take the time to figure that one out before they bought waterfront property in coastal Maine... However the issue has become the access to that tidal zone and private posting of traditional access points... With our family, it's go ahead but pass at your own risk...Downeast Duck Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445000557200149121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683676551491153840.post-82838879416842191472008-12-11T06:05:00.000-08:002008-12-11T06:05:00.000-08:00Well well well another reason the "commonwealth" h...Well well well another reason the "commonwealth" has it all wrong.I understande some people want to protect there investment,but what business could they possibly want with the mud.Oh wait that's right they just don't want to see the "ugly" thing called hunting.tugboatdudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02250162948022791703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683676551491153840.post-58445155789552388632008-12-11T04:30:00.000-08:002008-12-11T04:30:00.000-08:00WOW, in Maine it is the high tide mark that is the...WOW, in Maine it is the high tide mark that is the dividing line. Anything below that is public property.
