I never met or had any interaction with any of them but I generally only heard nice things outside of the goons they hired to patrol the estate. A couple years ago Hedy (wife) was driving the length of the county to tutor some homeschool kids in like French or something. They knew them from church I guess.

Thought was pretty charitable thing for some billionaire's wife to take the time to do.

So property rights are tied to tree species?

Yeah. No.

He put together a company that is arguably one of the best in the world in the DW realm. Their success percentage on wells is 2nd to none.


Man was a modern day Sid Richardson.

You are probably not familiar with the ebb & flow of the navigable waters of the Mississippi River.

Private property changes with water levels.

Actually, my father spent 20 years as an attorney working on one case that ended up defining case law in this matter. Look up the Gassoway access case in Louisiana.

My family owns significant land Holdings which are affected by the rise and fall of the Mississippi and other navigable rivers. I have personally prosecuted and testified in trespassing cases involving duck hunters and fishermen.

This is why message boards get a bad rap. It's from people spouting off nonsense when they don't know what they're talking about.

Saying that public access is determined by the species of trees on the bank is simply ignorant, misleading, and wrong.

There are thousands of miles of navigable river bank that have no trees whatsoever. And many thousands more that don't have oaks.

It's about the mean high water mark, not the species of trees for fricks sake. That doesn't have anything to do with it.

So in this case, I do know more than you. So do us all a favor and stop spreading bad information

You over think things and are so far off base, from the point, you look the fool and obviously missed the sentiment of his post.

Do us all a favor and frick off on your family’s ginormous land Holdings.

I thought the Lawrence family owned the most land in Mississippi. They had over 180,000 acres at one time.

I’ve always heard as far as duck hunting the river if you can access the area by boat from the river without stepping on land it’s considered public.
