Blockade Updates


The BC Wildlife Federation has been informed that anti-hunting groups are raising money to finance a trip to Northern B.C. with the objective of blocking resident hunters’ access to moose hunting areas.

The BCWF took proactive steps to address the possibility of illegal blockades and to find solutions by discussing the problem with the Tahltan First Nations, government, and by seeking legal expertise.

It became apparent that government had no plans deal with illegal blockades, leaving the BCWF to deal with the issue on its own.

The BCWF believes maintaining public access to shared resources is a principal upon which this organization was founded.

The BCWF is prepared to support our membership and resident hunters and ensure that access to wildlife is maintained.

The first step for anyone encountering a blockade is to follow our protocols for documenting any illegal action taken by protestors.

Without being confrontational, hunters are encouraged to take photos and notes of any blockades to submit to the RCMP, Conservation Officers and the BCWF.

Should a blockade materialize, BCWF is prepared to file a legal injunction if other solutions are not successful.

A legal injunction comes at a significant financial cost, but the BCWF will not stand down from supporting our members.

The BCWF would appreciate donations to the Action Fund to help deal with this issue.

This is very encouraging to hear from the fed, what isn't so encouraging is the government and the RCMP's political cowardice.

Now remember everyone Mr Thompson, Mr Morris and the GOABC all said there is ample GOS moose season in BC. Well the Dease lake area is one of them so if they allow the blockades to happen that's one less GOS area gone. Time to force them to stay true to their GOS word and pull those blockades down. Must be time to email and ask them this exact question. Probably get a response after hunting season, In March maybe

Let the average white guy set up a road block to show their displeasure and watch just how hard they come down on us........a paranoid individual could come away with an attitude that the average tax paying voter means dick to the govt other then a source of $$$$, to be used and abused for their own political gain. Said individual might not be too far wrong.......

So is this a bunch of FNs in their own "territory" or not?

If the BC and Federal governments don't want to deal with it, that's a signal that they want someone else to deal with it.

I was chatting with a local RCMP from Dease named Colin (really nice guy) while up there and he was saying that the Taltan Nation didnt want the hippies there and that they cntacted the police to have them removed last year,,,they dont want to be associated with these groups apparently,,so if they are there somebody isnt doing their job,,

Breaking the law in more than one ways. Their camp should be torn downs as its been there longer than 14 days. BLocking a public road, interfering with a hunt.

Some one please go and take a selfie with their camp in the back ground and then please go shoot some thing up the road! PLEASE

I do have to say from reading their Facebook page that they appear to be all about First Nations.
They may be using North Vancouver hippies as posted boys, but I would bet that Tahtlan FNs are behind this.
They don't want any non FN to hunt.
But FN hunting is OK.

You can take a bunch of homeless hippies and let them stay over there and be useful idiots.

If the FN don't want the hippies there they should remove them, not have the RCMP do it.

Wrote and shared it with the CO page. Made a note of stating that law officials turn a blind eye towards the situation but turn around and ask those same hunters to report any wildlife violations they witness.

While people "donate"money to them. These hippies are smart, living in a cabin and sitting by a campfire while people pay them to do so. Now if I could only get people to donate money to me and pay me to live in the woods and hunt everyday

Has anybody have actual knowledge of any hunter being stopped at the blockade on the bridge by the Gitxsan? When I was there, we were told that hunters were ok and it was to stop the LNG people from accessing their territory.

Actual knowledge, not an I heard from someone story.

This blockade and others should not be confused. They are two different issues.

That is a picture of someone making a sign, no information or indication where. Still no actual proof that the Gitxsan stopped anyone. There is some confusion on this thread about different blockades. There were supposed blockades for hunters in one area and a blockade for the LNG issue in another. Let's not confuse the two.

Some are hunters and some are poachers, don't confuse the two. Educate yourself before making accusations and repeating falsehoods.

There are two very separate issues being lumped together on this thread. The BCWF northern B.C. mentioned blockades by Dease Lake area have nothing to do with the Gitzsan blockade. The Gitzsan blockade is to prevent access to their territory by the LNG pipeline people. That is why I asked if anyone had been stopped access from the Gitzsan blockade. When I was there, they told me hunters would be allowed.

There is nothing to show that the sign was or has been posted anywhere.

Read their comments. Also that sign- left side next to the gate

They also had a video where they were confronting a hunter in the territory and trying to stop him coming OUT

This is WDL behind the blockading of hunters accessing the areas. Initially WDL was to head to Sease lake area but I have heard (stand to be corrected ) that the FN in that area did not want them back and/or reached an agreement of some sort with the government. Therefore there was no further need for them to be their, so they intern found another blockade and basically piggy backed off the gitxsan blockade that was only there for stopping LNG purposes. So they arrived there in early September and left in early October about one month. Enough for them to make signs and take pictures as PR to show that they were doing something. This activity was funded by the $16000 that they raised. The picture of the girl making the sign is Bec Wonders on FB whom works with Tommy Knowles (co founder along with Emily Pickett co founder of WDL) in the WDL FB site the pictures show them doing this. Also in the Madii'L Camp (on FB) there are pictures of them as well. Right now the group is raising funds for their wolf campaign to come up to the peace to monitor the so called wolf cull. Tommy is somewhat militant and will use photography to skew the truth into fiction to gain any further funding. WDL has also now teamed up with Pacific Wild. In another twist the BC SPCA is now involved because Ms. Sara Dubois , chief scientific officer so called wildlife expert consults with NGOs such as Raincoast Conservation and Pacific Wild among many. It is best that we get on their FB pages to provide positive feedback backed by evidence as they will not like to be challenged.
