I like it - I've found a couple of memorials while out hunting and was always touched by them.

In fact, I'm going to request somebody dump my ashes up in a wilderness area 10 or 12 miles from the road.  Since I'm going to die anyway, I'm going to swallow about 50 pounds of split shot before they cremate me so my SOB friends won't ever forget packing my remains up there.

I have seen a few and always let them be.  I however, want to come screaming out of a barrel at 1500 fps at my favorite thing.... geese.  Not trying to sell their product but it's just another crazy option (well for me). http://myholysmoke.com/
Don't forget to pick up your shells!

One of our hunting buddies had a passion for goose hunting.  When he died, his two best friends got together with his wife, and they loaded up a few 12 gauge shells with a token amount of his ashes and took him on one last goose hunt. One of them got his first ever double!

The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

My family and I just did this last weekend up at Eight Mile Creek. It was my Grandfathers favorite place to hunt and camp. He wanted to be spread up on the hill in his favorite spot but my Grandma could never make it up there so he later settled for across the road from Honeymoon Camp Ground. We left some roses and his ashes. We had many good times up there with him. Some of the best times in my life was him and I would go grouse hunting and do some scouting up there.
Over the years, the deer hunting has gotten worst and worst. I always tried to talk him into finding a new area but he would none of it. If anyone on here has ever met him, you would never forget his name, Columbus Kitchen. I miss him like crazy. It has been 5 years since he passed and feels like it was yesterday.
I hunt therefore I am.

I think memorials can be a nice way of remembrance, but if they are on public land they should be kept reasonably small and neat and probably shouldn't be materials that are going to be permanent. That picture looks more like someone forgot to clean up after camping though.  :twocents:
