Misc Do better people

My fiancée and I headed out to ghost PLUZ to plink around this morning. We spent more time cleaning up other people’s mess. We wound up with a bag of shells/brass, a large bag of garbage, a bag of cans and bunch of cardboard and metal. We would’ve taken more but that’s all that we could fit in the box. It’s absolutely disgusting that people think this is okay.

Good job bro! Thank you for taking the time to do that. Even the most knuckle dragging moron can understand that legal firearm owners don't need any bad PR right now. Littering is a great way to make all of us look bad. I can understand if the odd 22LR casing gets lost in the snow but there is absolutely ZERO excuse for shotgun shells. It's easy to set up a tarp to catch your shells as well.

Pretty much my philosophy is to pick up more than you shot. It's impossible to get everything, but if you try to leave the place better than you found it, that goes a long way. Shotgun hulls are very easy to spot, .22lr is a lot harder heh

That's what I do too. I've been shooting at the same spot on crown land for the last 6 months and the spot still looks almost the exact same as when I started. Leaving garbage all over is how we lose access to crown land. 

One of the other spots near me has been trashed with stolen cars, dumped garbage, poaching, people living illegally in RVs all over the place, and they just announced they will be closing the area and gating it. Another nice area to explore and shoot gone for good. Such a shame.

I hate the RVs out there, there is definitely drug dealing and use going on, and they've just trashed the area dumping their garbage all over the place. A few bad apples ruin it for all of us sadly.
