Iroquois Wildlife Refuge is a mess

[Frankly]

Visited for the first time in 18 months... freaking disgusting mess. Hauled a trash bag of spray cans and junk out after shooting, would love to know the addresses of the slobs who left it there so I could return it.

Targets, casings, rags, spray cans, diapers, rags, a mattress, pallets, pails, milk jugs, beer cans, broken glass....

WTF leaving tons of trash behind is only going to loose a rare free shooting area. Stupid!

Look at the road side to and from the range, especially after the snow melts, the effing pigs have no shame for their lazy sloth.

There is an old quarry I go to to shoot sometimes, every time I go I bring a trashbag and spent a few minutes picking up trash.

Why is Leave No Trace so hard to understand?

I agreen, a sign may help....but shouldn't be needed in the first place.

We put up a sign at my club for pack in/pack out. Bubbas shot the sign. Some real ignorant slobs within the gun community. Like all of society, there are people who ride the coat tails of the people who do the work.

Why do we need a sign? What has happened to people!

It's amazing that all it takes is a bag and a few minutes, yet the slobs leave it behind for someone else to pick up.
Then they'll be the 1st ones to bitch when the area gets shutdown to target practice! They'll complain that it's EVERYONE else's fault, it will be every politician's fault, when the real catalyst for closure will have been the slobs!

The biggest thing that pisses me off most is when I find beer cans in the garbage at the shooting range.

The second biggest thing that pisses me off is when I light the burner barrel and I hear FUBAR ammunition going off. I am no longer surprised at this, I expect it. Makes you wonder if some of these people put their hands in running mower blades and lick extension cords at home. I certainly know where the pool of FUDD non voters comes from.

Sadly, the sign would probably just turn into a target like so many rural road signs in the sticks.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of ignorant slobs all over the damned place these days. A few years ago some dumbass thought it would be cute to throw his bottle at a roadsign on my yard, while I was mowing there and my young child was not too far away with my wife. Had this ass clown thrown the bottle and driven away, things might have gone differently. They drove back by to return to the swimming hole they were hanging out at and on their next trip by I wrote down the plate number and called the troopers.
A week later and a trooper pulls into my driveway while I was working in the backyard. He walks out and I asked him if there was something I could do for him. He put up his hands and fanned out several traffic tickets. (the old school carbon copies of the handwritten ones) "I found your bottle thrower, or at least his girlfriend." he says.
Seems they had been looking for her based on my complaint, and when they noticed her, she was out after 9pm on a junior operator, spinning her tires, speeding and had extra dark tinted windows. Probably sucked to be her. She admitted that her boyfriend had indeed thrown the bottle.
Ignorant slobs.

Seems like any public "unofficial" shooting range gets trampled on by the slobs. Then they will be the first to bitch when they loose it and wonder why they keep loosing their rights.

It only takes a few slobs to spoil if for all. Unfortunately.
