Butler main Sooke

A friend of mine who pans gold up there, told me that all of the butler main/boneyard gates were locked pretty much permanently now, and the only way to get a key was to be licensed and bonded with a permit to be in there. Most of that entire area is water board land, and there is new talk about restricting the entire area to FN access only.

I've had friends on bicycles forcefully escorted from just south of leechtown off boneyard main, down to young lk rd with threats of confiscating their bicycles. Another friend was hunting a year or two ago up in the Jarvis Lake area with some friends. Within about 15 minutes after arriving at Jarvis Lake, a helicopter showed up and told them all to leave the area, with threats of siezing their quads and issuing fines. I just assume now that the place is locked down rock solid and not worth even trying to access anymore. As always though it's usually some idiots ruining things for everyone else. It's such a shame too with so many nice places up there...
