Texas billionaire Wilks brothers put gates on popular Forest Service road near Boise

A popular road in the Boise Foothills used by hunters and other recreationists has new gates and "no trespassing" signs as the billionaire Wilks brothers of Texas continue to exert their private-property rights in Idaho.

Forest Service road 374 — also known as Boise Ridge Road — crosses Wilks-owned property between Bogus Basin and Harris Creek Summit. The summit is north of the ski area and 13 miles east of Horseshoe Bend. Two gates recently were installed on the road, raising questions about whether the road will be closed to the public.
