3 Bags of Trash = NWFA Bronze Membership!

[Flyingswords]

Memaloose!




Man, there was garbage everywhere! Had a LEO stop by and make sure that we were gonna clean up after ourselves....he obviously hadn't checked in on the previous folks.

Was all that from the main pit (the one 6.8 miles in)? or the smaller one after it?

well have a place in mind, what size of bags are you thinking

3 50 gallon bags and my wagon should get me life membership ?

We pickup cans and bottles when we go walking our stretch of Highway 20 out here. We do it for the little bit of money but maybe next time we could pick up trash as well. Since its not technically a shooting area it probably wouldn't count but maybe expanding it to public ways that people litter would be an idea.

Aaaarrrggg! NOW I see this! Great idea Joe! Now I wish I had photo'd both of our local lead spots before emptying the trailer. I'll be coming back soon after our next trip out!

Terrific idea! If we don't pack this crap out no one else will. Sad to say.

It's all good everyone, I'm sure there will be plenty more! (though I'm hoping not)

Sadly, it's been a week since I emailed seven different departments regarding our efforts here. Out of the seven different departments emailed in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, not a single one has written back.

It is your time and it is valuable. If you have the links [addresses] to the state offices you might continue to send links with pictures of the clean up and the complaints found on this board.The lack of a response involving the efforts of the citizens of the states involved in this activity is atrocious.

Round 2....

Gooseneck Rd.

Took the little girls to shoot their bow, with the promise of Ice Cream later, they helped out.

I know just the place.

<sound of one hand smacking forehead> WOW!!! Why didn't ~I~ think of that!!!

I'll see what I can do.....although I go to the club, maybe I can find some area less manicured....

Here's a few bags. Plenty more where these came from

 

[Joe Link]

Awesome!

 

[BearArmy]

Here are my 3 trash bags. I have decided to bring 3 every time I go out to help clean up

 

[Horses are delicious]

Good work, Bear!

 

[Joe Link]

Great job Bear!

Forgot to put my name on a piece of paper with the trash but you can see my shoes in one for the picks and who else has green nikes? So here's a pick with my screen name and my shoes hope this works for you guys.

It's awesome to see people picking up out there! However every time I see another picture it kind of pisses me off to know that this isn't even scratching the surface because there's so much crap left out in the woods

We left a lot of wood that others could use as target stands, but we did the best we could. The shot up propane, canisters, shaving cream cans, and air tank really pissed me off. Sharp metal everywhere, and what did they really get out of shooting this stuff? Maybe it spun around or a side blew out because of the pressure, but then sharp metal, and they didn't pick it up... Shot gun shells get to me too. We sorted threw it all when we got home and lots of it went in the recycling, plastic and metal that wouldn't break down out there but are reclaimable resources... *shakes head*

There was a ton of glass where I was. I think I am going to bring a rake and a 5 gallon bucket for the glass and shotgun shells next time.

I'm not sure how I missed this post, but that's a great idea. I'll do that!
