Using roads and ‘Skid roads’ past locked gates for prospecting?

[Assembler]

Hello
What are your experiences talking to Boise Cascade, Warehouser, Potlach etc about using roads and ‘Skid roads’ past locked gates? Some times these corporations will have the keys to the locked gates.
Experiences good or bad. Any tips out there?
Thank you.

I bet that gate and sign cost a pretty penny to buy! and NO bullet holes! They must have taken that picture just after they installed it like their lawyer told them to! Some people don't get it or even care what any sign says and they keep on trucking no matter what!

Not many people know of this:

Many forest roads have a multitude of owners and or; pass through a multitude of private timber lands. If a private timber company has a gated road but somewhere back behind the gate lies a portion of USFS or BLM public taxpayer funded road; the private timber company can not withhold access to that public land/road. They are allowed to gate it, but must allow access to the public land. There lies your ability to get past a private gate. You may find that the USFS or BLM has a key allowing them access but they can not deny the public access unless they deem it a safety hazard because of private property activities taking place that can cause harm...(logging as an example). BUT one can address the concern by formulating an orchestrated plan involving the gov agency and the private landowner.

It is always fun to throw such issues on the table. Always ask where they deem it possible to deny access to public funded roads/lands.

Not to be argumentative, but I'm not sure if that is entirely true. I'm aware of no law that secures access (through private land) to "public funded" lands. The USFS is responsible for managing many sections of public land that are landlocked...to the point that they sometimes have to use helicopters to access the land. They also routinely cooperate and some say conspire with private land owners to block vehicular access to certain pieces of public lands under the guise of resource management.

Yep you are right about the bullet holes. Thought the sign was clever though.

Older Oregon Code:

100-1505 Who opens road and keeps it passable: Alteration or vacation: Exemption of county from work on road.
Such public roads or rights of way shall be opened and kept passable by the person applying for the same, and no road or public easement shall be altered or vacated, except by the county court, in the manner now provided by law; and no county shall be bound to work or improve or keep in repair such road or public easement. (1903, page 262, section 24) See also In re Sage (Yoran v. Sage 1909) 54 Or. 587, 590, 104 P. 428.
