I am surprised this thread has not been LOCKED by now.

We are all passionate about hunting and the outdoors so I guess the "mods' are letting us vent for now.

For conversation's sake let's ask ourselves what might happen if someone drove around the blockade and kept going. You get chased down? So you keep going. You get to your hunting spot and get into a heated shouting match when the local natives pull up. Best be with a group of hunting buddies. You are not on reservation land. By law you have a right to be there, hunting. Maybe after lots of heated arguing said natives leave and promise to be back. Do you and your buddies move to another area immediately? If you stay would you risk coming back from a morning hunt to 4 slashed tires and a tore up camp? Maybe set up some trial cams to record all the action and press charges? Maybe you and your buddies wear head mount go-pros during any confrontation to record everything. I am sure this situation would not end well. Armed hunters with tempers flaring? A recipe for trouble. Someone may fire a round. Say a hunter caught a person slashing their tires upon returning to camp. Could be big trouble. A hunter may need a really good lawyer and financial support from other hunters to fight a court case.

Is it worth it? Is this what we have to do to get this sh*t storm addressed? I am not sure. Do we need to lobby the local and provincial Govt's to force them to deal with this mess? Deep down I don't think anybody wants to be the guy in court because he did something in the heat of battle.

When i was little we went up to dease lake my dad wanted to try a new area. We got chased outta their within an hour by the local native band. Packed up went to our usual spot at the parking area for the jade mine road. Dad decide we should go fishing at the pond in the first 1 km of the road. Bagged a moose 10 minutes in. Went home the next day. Thanks local band!

All I have to say, is we live In a province run by spineless beaurcrats. They are the problem. If they had some balls, there would be non of this B.S! I'm glad I went through that town as long as I have. I would be tempted to run them all over!

I think I have this figured out.
Chief Terri Brown has failed to file the Tahltan disclosures in accordance with the with the FNFTA. Since the 120 day limit has lapsed, their funding will be cut. To make up for short falls, they will try to holdup the BC Public at large as they use public thoroughfares in north-western BC.
Shame on you Chief Terri Brown.
