Shooting Harrison Lake BC Mess, WTF

To whomever left all their garbage here, you are a lazy SOB. This was around Harrison East Forest Service Road.

Don't worry, I picked up all your crap and hauled it out.

Be better, don't ruin it for everyone.

Me too, like a steering wheel in between my legs

u/N-0-M Jul 28 '26

That gave me a giggle.

Rare for the doom and gloom of this sub recently

u/lonegrey Jul 28 '26

Drives me insane too - because of the disrespect of the area and the land, and also the attitude that why pick it up when the next person will for them?

Nice. Hundreds of spots around the country closed for target shooting because of this.

Irreversible damage to the image of firearms owners doing shit like that.

The irony is those fucking losers will be the first to complain when it gets shut down.

u/hunterofsteelhead Jul 28 '26

Same with fishing spots and just public spots in general. Eventually land owners shut them down. A public pond i fish at, the ministry decided to stop stocking with fish because of messes like this

u/Mil-wookie Jul 29 '26

A lot of local spots near bigger cities also turn to crap from "bucket" Fishman. Anything caught, goes in the bucket. You can try to educate them, or same them, but they'll just be back another day doing it again. So anything that would help repopulate a river or lake gets pulled by over fishing and inconsiderate people who eat everything, with no care for the future.

I don’t get why folks don’t just lay down a couple cheap tarps, makes cleanup fast and easy.

Thank you for your service.

It’s a shame how much trash people leave behind.

17

u/ThePoeticJester Jul 28 '26

Thank you for cleaning up after those pigs. This is exactly why shooting was banned in Stave Lake Mountain. So much trash

u/DougMacRay617 Jul 28 '26

Yeah this is sad to see and all but not really a suprise and no where near as bad as most places. Good on you for picking it up though, we need more people like you

u/colbsatron Jul 28 '26

This spot is a bit off the beaten trail and has been one of my favorite places to come to, hard to think anyone could just walk away from that and feel no shame.

u/LordRevan1996 Jul 28 '26

A magnet on a stick makes picking up hulls easy. There's no excuses.

1

u/ProtoJazz Jul 28 '26

Every once in a while you might come across some that won't be magnetic enough, but it's rare and would be pretty unlikely to find just out in the woods.

Some will be all brass bases, so you're only getting a grip on whatever happens to be in the primer. Which usually is enough, but definitely depends.

It's rare though. Usually vintage brass shells, which people tend to keep. Or something really special, or possibly cheap. It's rare enough that the few times it happens there's usually a crowd watching it get poked with the magnet and not get picked up.

This and a small plastic bucket. You don't even have to bend over to clean up your shells.

And one of these to clean up after your SKS easily.

The PAL course should have a section on specfic cleanup etiquette and techniques on crown or even private land. Assume everyone is a dick and politely explain how not to be a dick, and on the exam have the dicks explain themselves how they plan not to be a dick before they get a card.

Wasn't there an RCMP post about illegal shooting on a different forest service road in BC called lost creek very recently? A group of males shooting for a rap music video firing mostly shotguns who got ticketed or something.

u/TheScranHouse Jul 28 '26

Its not that hard to clean your own shit up guys! take the 5 fucking mins to pick up litter so that these spots don't get gated off. This is exactly what ruins these locations for everyone else.

Natalie did it. (Conquer and Divide.)

u/Comprehensive_Luck43 Jul 28 '26

Unfortunately all the easily accessed service roads near-ish to Vancouver seem to be like this. Probably that way with any easily accessed shooting area in general. People are worse than the garbage they leave behind. I frequent the Harrison lake area and always leave with bags and bags of other people's garbage because I actually want to continue to use these places.

u/Unfair_Valuable_3816 Jul 29 '26

u/apocalypticpops Jul 29 '26

Amazing people have never heard of brass catchers.

u/Diocletian300 Jul 29 '26

I go shooting a lot. I always pick up all my brass and hulls and make sure my friends do the same. Leaving shotgun hulls is the laziest and most damaging thing to leave. What a degenerate.
