The PNW4WDA has pick up a mountain weekend.

I think the RMEF and MDF needs to team up with USFS, WDFW, DNR and timber companies along with hunters in picking up hunting camps weekend. The majority of the trash in the woods comes from hunters.

I have never taken a beer into the woods but have brought countless empty cans/bottles out.  Seems to get worse every year though.

I missed a chance at an elk a few years back... I stepped over a can, then went fifteen or so yards back to get it, about fifty yards farther down the cat road, I heard elk coming and they crossed, and stopped just out of range.  Had I been thirty yards closer, I would have put an elk in the freezer that year.   :(

I did not see a single piece of garbage, or another hunter for that matter, on two pieces of State land that I hunted this year.

been a pretty good year for us this year..  Did take out 6 mylar ballons and one water bottle in the woods, but otherwise not nearly as much as we've seen before.

You know, that is an excellent idea.

Every year Fish & Game (not just WA, most states) have something like a "Free Fishing Weekend."  Same idea, but get the timber companies involved.  Have them open the gates for the weekend, and invite the public to come clean up the land.  "Clean Up the Woods Weekend."  I like it.

Every year I pick up one pickup load full of garbage out on the Lt.   and haul it to the dump.   Sadly it doesn’t take me long.  Once in awhile the kids and I’ll get an extra one together.   I’m excited to think there might be someone else out there doing the same.  It’s all volunteer and out of my own pocket and time.   I get a good feeling out of it and it teaches my kids something. Camp is always cleaner than when we got there.

Where I hunt you don’t see garbage left behind, or thrown from vehicles. The stuff you guys post about is crazy.  :dunno:

We see more than we can pick up. It's ridiculous.

Great idea, I adopted this habit a few years back when a favorite shooting area was getting out of hand. I think I spend more time cleaning it up than shooting there but that's ok.
