    Re: Road blocked !

    First off I would never block a road or trail. If some one won'ts to go in I would let them.
    But! If I know it's only a km or 2 to the end of the road or trail, I'll say friendly a hello if there in camp. Then go somewhere else and I expect the same.
    No one on their death bed ever said; I should have spent more time at work.

    That reminds me of a saying I have when some guys says "Look at that big track!" I say "You know what tham means don't you?.......big feet!" lol

    Steven I have seen this many times . It's a bloody shame but you have to be careful when encountering people who do this sort of thing as you already know they are a bit bent ! Stay Safe !

    A group of hunter camped on the access to a bunch of roads at 101, . One of long time 101 hunters, said it was no problem, He knew enough back trails to access the network. He did drive through their camp on the way out. You get to know the hunters who hunt the area year after year. Camping across access roads is one of my pet peeves.

    Hmm was trying to retrieve my deer cam at the far end..lol..
    Absolutely lots of places to hunt..past 15 years never seen the trail blocked..30 other rds leading to different areas for bears, others for deer, others for lynx , and moose places..
    It wouldnt stop my hunt..just dont have many examples of ignorant selfish individuals..will go back in a week and dig the camera out.

    If its blocking a tiny small area...room for a couple of hunters...... It may be justified......but if it s access to a huge area......
    Them tires may have strangly gone flat. But also be ready for repercussions.

    Give your heads a shake who ever ya are.

"A house divided against itself cannot stand". This kind of asshole conduct is depressing to hear.

    Excellent post guys, this is a big problem as well, totally agree with your comments.

    Weve hunted the same high mountain valley for 20 yrs,we are going in again soon on the 23rd.We set up on a spur road on the way in and basically kill our game in a very small area close to camp and do camp on the roadside but have never tried to block access in any way,hell its big country and when we get the odd hunter driving in past camp they generally never come back as the road ends soon afterwards.The main road in goes for another 60 k and 90% of the guys going in think all the games at the end of the road..lol it generally leaves our little mountainside unhunted by anyone other then our camp

    Isn't that the truth! The last nice mulie buck I shot was in an area 30-50 vehicles, most in groups,
    went driving past both day and night as they were headed to the far reaches of the Chilcotin Plateau.
    Like when fishing a lake, not all the big ones are at the far side or end of the lake, lol!

    This^ it is very much a all for one one hobby...regardless of the few that help others like Srupp. That is why it is destined to fail when push comes to shove.
