First off sounds like a great man passed away and when the world loses titans that aren't afraid to get their hands dirty... Its a sad day
But are people really going off on whether a particular species of trees define property lines .. I've never heard willows to oaks but immediately took it as a "red sky at night" type of saying

You're blustering because I called you out on being wrong.

Didn’t Boelte patent the stator on mud motors?

Calm down man. The willow/oaks was a general guide that a MDWFP biologist said to look out for if you aren't sure where the "high water" mark ends and where you need to turn your boat around. In general I'd say it holds true for rivers and most of the time it means you really aren't allowed to motor past the river channel no matter how high the water is. Though of course people do it all the time.
I'll be interested in reading up on the Gassoway case specifically. From what I've seen is that the rules of river access is quite convoluted and mis-information is all over the place and each state has different grey areas. I.e you can float in a navigable stream but if you wade it then you are standing on private property. Or you can stand in the water and fish but as soon as you step on dry sandbar you are trespassing. That shite goes on and on and I don't think most game wardens even know the exact rules on it.
I think there was suppose to be a SCOTUS case that was suppose to help define things coming up or maybe has already passed. Idk.
On my river outings I try and be legal but no matter what, when approached by a landowner I'm polite and non-combative and it has always worked out for me.
We should have a discussion on the OB about it. It would be lively discussion full of quotes we can submit to the court when facing the judge.
Sorry I de-railed this thread with my original comment.
RIP Mr Boelte. Sounds like he genuinely left the world better than when he entered it.

Not to be insensitive, but does anyone know what happened? My family and I spend a lot of time on ATVs etc in similar territory. Curious if there’s anything to learn.

…Does your family also own historically important property in Ascension Parish?

From what I heard, he was on a 4 wheeler and a deer darted out in front of him. He swerved to avoid it and flipped over

My buddy works for him and that’s how I got our duck lease in bayou black. Damn shame.
Posted on 2/24/24 at 7:52 pm to Penrod
He was a great guy and has some of the nicest kids I ever met. As much money as they have, you’d never know it.

The news story said accident on a SXS some of those things are quick. I have no knowledge of anything other than the news story.

My heart goes out to his son Jeremy and the family. As some have said, I’ve been in meetings with Gerry and had some one off drilling with his son’s venture - great people and never wanted the lime light. Gerry was low key unlike some oilmen in the news today (weirdo Tim Dunn).

Just found this out last night. FIL and him were very good friends, but most have no idea who he is. Sooty to see an industry titan and good guy gone

Gerry was a kind and very unassuming man

The largest land owner in MS is the Lawrence family. There's also a group that owns over 50,000 acres. He owns the south the majority of the land in Anna's Bottom. My family used to own the north end of that tract

lol. You got me. No cool wildlife there. Or natural history, or unique and disappearing ecosystems.

My father has property in east ms that is bordered on 3 sides by the Hall family that has 50-60k in the pine belt. Of course its a family business scattered all over the place and not a playground like Boelte. And, alluvial plain>>>>pine trees.
