Came across this old episode of " Westland" from 1974 that featured Ted "Chilco" Choate taking a camera crew into the Chilcotin plateau, it talks a lot about the loss of wildlife habitat due to the overgrazing that the gang ranch was famous for. If you have ever read choates books you will like this fi;m.

Loved the book about his upbringing in South Surrey, can't remember what it is called but a great read. Had some neighbours that "taught him a lot about life." Loved the part about him selling half wild raccoons at the market ...

I just bought one of his books!

his books are "Unfriendly neighbors", "the fire still burns" and "big feet and mouth to match"
I just re read unfriendly neighbors recently, man it sure gets you pissed off at how the Gang ranch use to operate and think they could do whatever they pleased with the rangeland and water usage.
