Assuming that you know FOR A FACT that the land is open for the lawful hunting of the species that you are interested in hunting: Contact the Department of fish and wildlife and get a written response if possible. Try email. If the season come sneaking up on you and trhey still have not responded talk to them in person or on the phone. IF their answer is negative, you're done. If it is affirimative procede to contacting the local authorities. Preferably the local police department, but if there is none, contact the sherriffs department for that county. Ask them the same question and then make sure there are no lcal ordinances prohibiting your actions. Keep a log of who you talked to, their agency, and if an LEO their badge number (if possible) provided that you can't get a written response which is ultimate.
Now, you may not know whether or not that land is open for the lawful taking of waterfowl: First, go to the local or county agency (depending on your area) to find out who owns the land. If it is government owned, contact the government that owns it. If it is privately owned, contact the owner to get basic waterfowl hunting permission. Then to find out boat legality, proceed with part 1.
