Probably a bunch of other people thinking the same thing.
If it's handy to a road and you can drive in there then at least 10 other people will drive in there by noon on opening day, 10 others will see your vehicle and turn around and leave.

Wow. You don't live in Quebec that's for sure! Our whole public land is posted in one way or another with signs that might say " Hunters deer hunting 2010", etc.
You go in there and you'll get chewed out and even threatened! No one from the government even gives a crap either. One day there will be serious trouble and it's hunters which will be blamed instead of the wardens and provincial police which should be keeping public lands public and not for goons who set up permanent stands and block off road access to others.

I know a young guy who did just that and ended up with a 20ga. slug fired through the side of his brand new Tacoma. He was sure upset but as I pointed out to him, you blocked crown access. What they did was extreme, I don't condone it myself, I'd have left you a note on your windshield to tell you how ignorant you have been. Want a spot to yourself? Hunt private land that you have exclusive access to! Just my .02 worth.
We have public servants with the tools to make sure that does not happen twice. I highly doubt that the RCMP would not give a crap about an armed man threatening you in the bush. If that really is a problem I'd spend half of the hunting season wandering around with no rifle and lapel camera. Next year there would be lots less idiots in the bush.
There is only one way to greet a stranger on crown land. That is with a smile, nod or a friendly wave.
As for blocking the road. It is a no no. You are just as likely blocking someone in, keeping firefighters out or at worst in BC interfering with a hunt. Stop me from accessing crown land and you'll be gaurenteed a visit from The Conservation Service. Leave a nice note and I'll wish you well from afar.

Just to reiterate, I would NEVER block access to a road, any length or width, never.
That's the sort of thing I want Saskatchewan to avoid. Once you start letting people act like they own the place, it will become standard behavior.Hey, it worked once.
The people that will use your sense of decency and sportsmanship against you will display neither of those traits themselves. Give them an inch and they will take several miles.
This post is from BC not ON. And in ON that rule doesn't apply to farm roads back country logging roads etc. And although WS doesn't state it exactly it sounds like he is on an old logging road. His first post said it would scrape the paint off anything bigger than a Tracker!!! Roadway? I think not in this case!!! Good Luck with you hunt WS and let us know how yo make out!!!
if you park at the trail head that should be a deterrent for most people.
Make sure you piss on all the trees at the trailhead to mark your territory. Scarecrows in the likeness of Ignatieff or Layton should turn off most hunters------or encourage them to alert you to their presence by shooting said effigies.
