I agree with you Tincanfsh, I get frustrated by all the garbage left behind by our fellow anglers and others. Pack it in, pack it out. There were a couple times I did like you and packed out bags of garbage when I was really frutrated. Trouble is, it's a big hassle to pack out a bunch of other peoples trash so I rarely did it. I often walk by the mess and just grumble to myself and don't do anything about it. I came up with a new way to address the problem that I have been using for about the last ten years. I pick up one can or piece of garbage every time I'm in the field hunting or fishing. It's not a hassle so I do it every time. Some of my friends think I'm wierd for doing it, but a couple others have adopted this practice. It's not much, but if we all did it, just one can a trip, soon there would be no more trash. I feel better about not walking by it all, even if it is only a small contribution to my favorite haunts. Just my $.02.
