Clean up your bloody garbage. Especially to you in the treestands by line 5.

Sincerely,
A hunter that wants to hunt and not play garbage man.

Seriously though, one bag of garbage today and one on wednesday and way more to come next week after the round of pigs this weekend. Can't walk for 5 minutes without coming across garbage left behind. It is a great hunting area and I dont want it ruined by garbage left behind. Hunting there is a priviledge not a rite.

Feel free to share your opinions on the dump our forest is becoming and maybe, just maybe one of these dirty people will get the point and stop leaving garbage behind.

Also whats with all the random 2x4's and tarps in trees with chunks of foam sticking out? Looks like a one handed monkey is hunting this year in copeland. Isnt that a permanent structure on crown land?
 
Well if you're spending that amount of time cleaning up his crap, I'd just pick it all up and spread it around in front of his stand. I'd also make a call to a CO when you know hes in there next and report him for littering.
 
I talked to the regional parks manager and he told me that hunters are second only to the mining industry for littering. Pathetic.
 
It is easy to tell the best fishing spots on a river by all the remnants of lure packages on the shore. Being pigs is not confined to hunters. It does make my blood boil however. It is against the law as one poster mentioned, a little video footage goes a long way perhaps?

You should see the filth target shooters leave at the public land I use. It's embarassing. Pretty soon the township will ban it's use as a range and rightfully so.

Every time I go out to my usual spot, there is more and more left over crap from the previous group(s). Once I get a truck, I will start taking it all out. The Civic doesn't exactly hold much more than a bag or two with all of my other gear.
I'm working on teaching people I go with to take their stuff out, but it seems to be more of a way of ditching unwanted items and then shooting them. Not cool.
 
Good luck, at work we can't even talk the guys into not pissing all over the toilet seats so trying to talk someone into picking up their garbage seems like an impossible task.
 
Most of the popular stands where I hunt have a pile of beer cans and bottles. It's crown land. Next spring when we're back up there, we'll take the atvs in with trailers to clean up. Swine.

As a community (hunters, shooters, fishermen) we can be our own worst enemies.
