5-04 access - Tsilhoqot'in roadblocks?

[Andrewh]

Hey guys,

Just looking through LEH stuff and was wondering if anyone has any experience with accessing 5-04 from the North from Alexis Creek, primarily getting to Taseko Lake area?

[BgBlkDg]

I expect that all access in that area will be blocked by Hi yah yah types and the RCMP will back them up as in former times.......

I suspect you will find road blocks warning you to stay off the new titled land. Which is now legal, it would be no different then keeping people off your own land.
The roads that are highways maintained are legal easements anything not maintained in there titled area is off limits.

[Andrewh]

So an FSR going though their land is off limits? Not planning on hunting their land, just passing through 10km of road by the looks of it.

I Think we are way to soft here....A Convoy of Texans would have those roads open in a second.
Does this kind of BS happen in the States???

Been a long time for me...but used to be able to cross the Siwash bridge and head down through Seven Sisters to get to the Taseko area... Also, used to be able to travel down south of Tatla towards Chilco and come out at the Nemiah valley. Maybe be aging myself here though.....

Chilko way is off limits now.It is all titled land from henry's crossing on.

It sounds like you are wondering about the Lord River Rd. Heading down the west side of Taseko Lakes. We hunted there multiple times last fall as I drew a moose tag for October and have an annual muley/LEH goat hunt in that country. We didn't have any access issues last year although we did meet the new local park ranger and had natives checking in on our camp site. They do have signs posted on roads both within and outside of their title land.

I own deeded land within the title area and am still trying to figure out what all this stuff means for me. So far, nothing has really changed for my neighbours who live there year round with the exception of hunting.

I think in Texas if you tried to hunt on someone's private land without permission you might get an unhappy response.

Difference is we paid for our land and continue to pay via taxes

Actually let them have it,,,dont plow the roads,,,cut off the hydro,,,they want to be alone,,lets leave them alone,,maybe blockade the roads so they cant come onto our land

[srupp]

By Henry's crossing you mean the Davidson bridge that crosses taseako river?

Could not agree more.

henry's crossing is crossing the Chilko river.

[.330 Dakota]

So can you go to the Davidson Bridge, and turn south along the east side of the Taseko river past the outfitters place or is that off limits too??

[pg83]

That is outside treaty land, but they are pushing for it still.

[.330 Dakota]

Kinda thought so

Dark green is current title land, light green is what they are still after.

Chief Alphonse spoke at the BCWF AGM this past weekend.

When asked about hunting on their title land, his response was 'Call us, ask permission'

Worth a shot.

[Andrewh]

Thanks for all the help guys, I am not looking to hunt on the land but simply pass through it. I will call and see what I can arrange.

thanks,
Andrew

I will continue to try and communicate with them, so far my emails have not been responded to. They have a lot on their plate trying to figure out how to run their land at the moment.
