I found a closed NF road that is lined with more blackberry bushes than I've ever seen in one place. This is right by where I found the scraped up dead tree... Is it legal for me to walk up this road looking for brother bear, or is this considered "the road"? Do I need to keep it just to the back country, trails and clear cuts?

The regs say maintained portion of a public highway.

I'm sure it's a spot that everybody knows about and there will be 100 people up there when fall bear starts.

Public Highway: Any road, regardless of surface, maintained by public funds
Nope, good way to have your gear confiscated....

not true.
Because it is closed doesn not mean that it is not maintained. Lots of areas have closed roads, or even gated roads, that are service access or handicap only access.
now, if there is a big trap ditch or piles of brush or rocks blocking the road. Then I would agree with you.

If the road doesn't get a lot of vehicle traffic it might have grass or moss growing down the middle and on the sides. Makes for a quiet walking surface.

I wouldn't be too worried. walking down a gated road with a loaded firearm isn't illegal/ :twocents:
:yeah: I would do it.
