An ethical question about river bank hunting.

[rixdafix]

So I've been hunting a bank on the ole Mississippi and it's comprised mainly of very large rocks and boulders with all the gravel and what not mixed in. Found buckets of chips, pottery, my first intact point in years and a heart breaker back half of a very large knife. I want to see some of the piles under these larger rocks and I'm capable of moving them. When is hunting considered too aggressive when it comes to moving stuff like that on the bank. These are naturally occurring rock falls, not something placed for erosion prevention. Am I cool to flip these big bastids out of my way? Just trying to play fair.

Don't know why not, outside of property owners take on doing so and of course state and federal laws! Mississippi being a navigable river, would think it would be under the oversight of the corp of engineers, ie, the federal gov't.

you could never move what the force of water can move, I'd go for it!
