Lately it seems that I am finding more and more trash in our state forests. This video is from today, while I was grouse hunting in the Vernooy Kill State Forest. Looks like someone didn't feel ike packing up their camp so they just left it.
I found more garbage in a State Forest today

Any bodies in the tent?
Call it in to ENCON. I bet they'll be interested.

Actually I pocked around the tent a little, but didn't find or smell a body, although I expected to. lol

LOL fuck that little bitch, the climate numb-skulls over played their hand with this one
This is the reason the DEC wants to close down target shooting at the Vernooy Kill State Forest and turn the area used as a rifle range into a parking lot for mountain bikers. Hunters and target shooters have volunteered periodically to clean up the place, but there are always a few who leave their trash behind.

People are disgusting. I would say they need education in Leave No Trace but they'd just ignore it anyway.

My wife and I found a camp site like that complete with camp stove lantern and sleeping bags at a canoe in site at Lake Lila in the ADK's. The tent was almost falling down and had spider webs in the doorway and the grass was high and not stepped on. I fully expected to find a body and glad I didn't. We did notify the rangers and they said they'd check it out. no idea of the outcome

That is One of the reasons why I stopped hunting Happy Valley several years ago. Every time we went there ,without fail ,we brought out other peoples trash. Got sick of picking up after slobs.

Some of these people belong to my gun club. They can't police their own hulls/brass. Some that do throw live ammo into the burner barrel. We have met the enemy and he is us.

Hi Everyone,
I am the Steward for the Vernooy Kill State Forest area. Morgan Duke Conservation Society has a volunteer stewardship agreement with the DEC to help protect Vernooy Kill State Forest. Few people have signed up to become ongoing volunteer for Vernooy Kill State Forest. If anyone would like to volunteer here is the sign up form.
There are no requirements as to the number of hours, set schedules or how many times per year a volunteer has to help. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
As volunteers in this Program, participants are provided with the same liability and workers= compensation protection as salaried state employees, as long as they are acting within the scope and terms of the Agreement and comply with the Department's guidelines for use of volunteers.

New DEC proposed regulations include:
- Prohibit the discharge of firearms other than for hunting or trapping, except when using paper targets at areas clearly posted as open to target shooting and with suitable backstops. In addition, the proposed regulations prohibit breakable targets, such as clay pigeons, and paintballs and paintball guns. These measures are important to protect public safety and prevent litter and the destruction of natural resources;

Welcome to Utah! Wide open spaces and plenty of room to dump your old shit, shoot if full of holes and leave it.

I was at Vernooy big field yesterday on cutler road and there was a mess. I spoke to the forester while I was at Vernooy. I have notified some of my volunteers and I am thinking to do a group clean up either April and May

They need education in that? I just assumed that's what you were supposed to do. Pack in, pack out.

I guess Perv Cuomo was there then
The shooting range on Cutler Road, off of Lundy Road, in the Vernooy Kill State Forest, is officially closed to target shooting. The DEC was there today cleaning up all the crap some of you morons left there and they posted a "NO TARGET SHOOTING ALLOWED" sign. So nice that a few morons who insisted on bringing garbage into the area have ruined it for everyone else.

Littering makes me think about voting in corporal punishment along with very hefty fines.

People dump their pets, washing machines, used oil, etc in Melody Hill State forest.

They have been going through and closing them all over the state and I doubt it’s due to trash being left. There was one by me they closed a year or so ago.
The sign that the DEC posted specified the garbage issue as the reason.

Of course they did. Related, gun control is for safety.
MAYBE JUST MAYBE we need to graduate from the kindergarten mindset of punishing the entire class for the actions of one. MAYBE JUST MAYBE the DEC should take the initiative to enforce the law against the law breakers, instead of once again making law-abiding citizens suffer the consequences.
The plain and simple fact is that no matter what we're talking about, there's some small segment of the population that will do something stupid relating to it. Allowing the actions of the few to strip freedoms from the many is how we got into this situation in the first place. We should never support or condone such responses from the government.

Trail cameras are to expensive for DEC to set up and monitor the garbage area and catch the dirtbags ..
cheaper to just close the area .. heaven forbid they do some real work ..
