B.C. Tweesmuir Park roads closed

well, since only law abiding, upstanding natives such as yourselves are permitted to have blockades, I'd suggest calling up the local police and complain.
 
dam I hate working all week well here we go lets put some 1st hand knowledge on this scene....and before you reply Mr brains think about this , my family holds a trapline in region 6-02 and I spent years guiding in that region as well as hunting and know every road/trail and mud puddle in it

so now enlighten me how anyone ever DROVE to region 6-02 without using west frasers bardge which does NOT transport game animals or at the other end on the thatsa bardge oh and the bardge is only running on demand in the past 2 years as they have slowed logging down to a crawl in the area due to the wood being to dry to proccess in a mill thanks the pine beetle epidemic and yu I am pretty good hunting buddies with Paul/Brian and evan the bardge operators ;) so onto the reality of it there is no roads into the region and no bridges across ootsa lake or thatsa reach NOR is there any blockades made by a bush pilot to gain buisness in the area , god I cant beleive people like you actualy exist, did your parents have any children that lived ?

oh and speeking of region 6-02

My wifes doctor is going hunting up there to some Camp....wonder if thats the camp that blocked the road?

I guess its a "Hunters only" camp.

I thought he said it was accessable by boat though.
 
there is NO barrier Clarke nothing nada zip, there is no drivable path into the area other than bardge and any roads deactivated over there are done so by forestry for enviromental reasoning like saving the roads from drainage etc , amphib has been there with me and seen the area its just not an easily accesable area unless you have your own boat and atvs

I'm not disputing that...You know the area far better than I.

Just saying that if I found a road that was illeglaly blocked, I woudl clal the CO's.:)

Actually, the first thing that popped into my head when snowhunter described the 'blockade' was that the road had simply been deactivated by forest crews.
 
I am still wondering how in the hell he drove there ? , I mean hell I spent countless hours and frustration with boats and bardges and I could have just drove on in?

oh and the local bush pilots are a little old to be doing that much work to gain a few bucks and the outfitter over there could care less if hunters are there or not from BC, hell he invites them into his camp for beers in the evening most of the time

looks like alot of water to me :runaway: and once you do boat in you can access any road there other than the minor typical road deacs done for drainage and erosion control by forestry and logging companies , which are managable with a 4x4 or a quad :dancingbanana:

About 20 kilometer south from the barge crossing on Chalaslie Main, the road splits into a fork, and on the right hand side is the Blanchet Road, turning west for about 15 kilometer, and continue into 6-02, zone B, Tweedsmuir Park, and at the border point to the park, the high grade gravel road, which continues into the Tweedmuir Park, have been completely plugget up with row after row of log debris that make any passage, including that of a fourtrax, impossible. I would take days of hard labor, just to make a track with a chainsaw, which would be wide enough for a fourtrax.

Last week I was in the Burns Lake area, and a couple of old timers told me that, contrary to my believes, it was not the B.C. Government that had put up, and paid for this barrier into the Tweedsmuir Park, but a local float plane operator, who was protecting his outfitting business from "competition" of the B.C. resident hunters, by forcing B.C. resident hunters to hire him for flying them into the Tweedsmuir Park for a hunt.

I have been at this barrier, which are the most massive road barrier I have ever seen, anywhere in British Columbia.
 
I also find that Ootsa lake is dangerous to navigate, since it is made up from "drowned land", with lots of deadheads just below the water line, typical for a man made dam. Watch your speed and propeller, and sudden strong winds can also cause problems, including waves with whitecaps !
 
the cheslaslie also goes to tetachuck lake , which is were that fire was , there is some spots of debree from the cats pushing fire guards in that area, if there is a road completly blocked chances are its a firegaurd or forestry did it as a major deac , I can garentee that no one went out and built a barrier to stop hunters especialy the bush pilots here who dont even advertise much for buisness, and the outfitter up there I beleive is tweedsmuir park guiding has been in nuff trouble in the past and dont think they would have the balls to play games like that , it was there guide killed by the grizz a few years ago at nutly lake, and curiosity why would you worry about the back of the cheslaslie when the ootsa main and chief and wolf have been opened up into miles of roadways , the grizzly road is a guide camp at the end now

the lake is not navagational by a novice boater for sure and that lake can hit 5 foot swells in a matter of minutes hence our 20 foot + boats and sonar gear

and I can tell you right now that any oldtimer around here is going to tell you what they dont want you to know or do ! there are many people that claim that lake as THERE OWN and are fairly adiment to there beleif and do not want anyone hunting over there other than there groups , ignore it

the only thing I know over there 100% is you better be bear aware and prepared to deal with grizz, they do know what gunshots are and know food is around , last fall on a leh we saw 9 grizz in 1 day while quading into the table bay area off of the c3 road and 3 of them were on the ice bridge road and the swamp road cutoff to table bay

I do find the abundance of hunters stay in the c3 and table bay area due to the amount of active logging the other way and the guide camps down there make for serious compatition , but the guides territory ends at 3km on the c3 road so no guides down there atall

The man made obstacle of log debris at the border to the zone B of 6-02, on the Blanchet Road, is not a fire guard, but a massive and multiple, man made barricade, preventing anyone from entering zoner B of 6-02, Tweedsmuir Park, on foot, fortrax or 4X4.

I also noted that someone also have seeded clover along, and on, the old logging roads, but did not encounter any signs of grizz.

Eventually, we shall get to the bottom of this, and find out who and why, really put up this massive barricade on the Blanchet Road, leading into the Tweedsmuir Park.
 
seeding would be erosion control done on all logging roads nowadays , I just chatted with barry and some of the forestry guys at my litle brothers wedding thisafternoon and none of them know what your talking about either ?

and if you havent seen grizz sign there you havent been there !
 
or, as per usual, snowhunter is just stiring #### up and talking about something of which he has no clue.
 
Hell, Bones, if it isa hard area to acess, why didn't you tell me? ;)

I'll be hter next year, and DEMAND you pilot me in, so I can find a big as mnoose to shoot.

;) ;)
