I hate hunters....

[cast_n_blast]

I hate hunters who leave trash in the mountains and on the roads.

Sorry for the subject line, but I wanted to get as many people as possible to read this post.

I took my 15 daughter out hunting for the first time this year, she drew a central Utah deer tag and she was pretty excited to be able to go hunting and I was very excited to pass on my passion of hunting to her.

Last night as we were riding around different areas looking for deer, she made the comment to me. "Dad, why do all you hunters leave trash all over the mountains?" I was very upset; there were beer and pop cans all over the roads and trash where people had camped.

If you are guilty of leaving trash on the mountain, please change your ways!! I pick up most all the trash I find and carry it off the mountain, but I shouldn't have to do that and I know I'm not the only one that does this.

Sorry for bringing up this subject, but it really disturbed me last night.

I agree with what your saying. Nothing burns my butt more than seeing someone's trash when I'm in the woods.

It's so true , and see it all year long while in the forests of NM and along any of our states roads.

Starts with the way people are raised as kids. I watch adults litter in front of their kids so no big surprise that these kids will grow up littering the world with their trash. I go the Southern Colorado and am amazed at the amount of trash that people throw from their vehicles. Go visit the shore of a well- used lake and watch as people leave their fishing site totally trashed with KFC buckets, worm containers,pop and beer cans, fishing line, etc, etc. Makes a bad statement about hunters and fishermen in general even tough most don't do it...

Every year when I go to CO for 3rd season elk it amazes me how much trash (usually cans and bottles) are laying on the sides of all the roads in the hunting areas. What I can't figure out is that 95% of the guys up there hunting are in pickups, is it not possible to just toss the can in the back of the pickup when its empty??? Maybe its too heavy.

I pickup trash the whole time I am out there and usually head home with a full trash sack of other people's trash. I figure one of these days its going to give me enough brownie points that a big elk will allow me to shoot him near a road.

Awww come on, whats a Couple of candy wrappers and a couiple of beer cans. Cans came from aluminum thats from the earth. It's like giving back to Mother nature. Most people that road hunt won't see the trash thats left in the back country.

Now Shotgun shells on the other hand, people should pick those up. Unless they are drinking and leaving beer cans out, then it's OK.

My Grandpa and Dad always told me to throw your cans out!! Because we would make some Lucky Aluminum Can Finder very Happy! or if you got lost you could always follow your beer can trail back to camp!!
