December 13 2012
August 7 2013
Poachers have been active on the Hurley Road! On Thursday, after the storm, a beautiful 9 year old grizzly bear was shot on the right side of the Lillooet River FSR, as you approach the start of the Hurley. It’s huge body and head found laying on the side of the road with missing claws. This happened at the 8.5km mark on the Pemberton side of the Hurley, just before the Railroad Creek Bridge where the road splits up to the Hurley or to Meager. If anyone saw something in that area on Thursday Nov 17 please contact the RAPP Line you can remain anonymous if you wish 1-877-952-7277. Evidence of at least 2 moose were also poached up there this last month. There is no open season for moose from the summit to Pemberton. There is a big white sign up at the summit pull out. The Conservation Officers have a huge zone and they need the public to help keep an eye out for poachers. I’ve driven the Hurley hundreds of times and I’ve never seen a grizz! This poacher got lucky. A poachers luck has to run out!
