Sorry, but I don't agree. Does that mean that if the game warden catches someone fishing without a license, they shouldn't give the offender a ticket because they hadn't caught anything?
The hikers, birdwatchers, etc are using the area, same as we are. Trails, roads, and facilities have to be kept clean and maintained no matter if the person using them is there to hunt, fish, or just walk around and look at stuff for the day. It's not like they never use the restrooms or don't let their dogs **** on the trails and leave it for other people to step in.
Sad to say, not everyone takes good care of the public land when they visit. Some people feel the need to throw garbage everywhere they go, and someone has to pay for the cleanup. Right now, that's us. Let everyone who uses the area share in the costs of upkeep, I say.
