Agree with the above except that I'm way more pessimistic about education. I have found that there are 3 ways to change behavior: education, incentive, or some sort of limiting access for bad actors (a type of "regulation").I keep a small box of black contractor bags in my target shooting kit that goes with me out to Tillamook. Every single trip I do my best to fill up a bag and take it back with me. Taking my own trash out is just the tip of the iceberg of garbage I've hauled out of that place. And I don't think I'm special at all among users of this forum. I learned those habits from watching and shooting with others that post here.
I have handed out bags to others on occasion when I see them unloading milk jugs or whatever to shoot and asked them to pack out what they brought in when they are done. Some of these problem folks are not the most reasonable sort and that's about as close as I want to get to an armed confrontation in the middle of the woods when I only have the one first aid kit.
As others have said, if you're reading this, it is unlikely you are part of the problem since the entire point of this thread is information and stewardship of the area. The problem is developing an effective approach to educate the various fudds about the eventual consequences of their poor behavior. If they want to be counted among the ranks of "responsible and law-abiding gun owners" then how they behave in our natural areas is part of that, too. Right now, it doesn't seem like a lot of folks get that.
Education works really well and is needed definitely for those folks that will listen. Like u said members of this forum are a good example of that type of shooter. But imo the bad actors don't want to listen and u simply cannot get through to them enough to change their behavior in even the slightest degree.
Some type of incentive, that can possibly work and works really, really well imo for the average person. Incentives imo will still miss the worst ones imo but will get through to more of them than education. The folks like u mentioned who may not think about cleaning up but given an incentive -heck even a trash bag is a sort of "incentive" (a debt, in a sense) will respond to incentives. What I mean by the trash bag is they will feel obligated to use it since u kindly gave it to them. Education will also have an impact with these folks but it's very, very difficult to reach enough of them. Btw the hands on chatting with people like u, cogs, etc ate doing on-site is the single most effective method of education (which u already know I'm sure).
Imo separating the shooters who care, or at least are not trashing the place, from the few bad actors that are there to trash all they can is the only effective method to stop the bad actors from trashing the place. Perhaps a $10 per year permit to trash-no-land or something or other to pay for cleanup costs.
IMO anything that is monetary is going to make those really bad ones go somewhere else to shoot like their uncle's friend's back 40 or wherever. The logistics of limiting access to the bad actors to these public shooting areas I have not thought about at all but bright and dedicated poeple like cogs and his group can probably figure it out I would guess. I have around 25 years experience with this exact same thing (changing behavior) on a different subject matter working with hundreds and hundreds of landowners and local, state, federal agencies, tribes, etc and it's given me a very clear handle on what does and does not work (for WA and OR anyway). 2 cents...
