Post by: coachcw on September 14, 2011, 09:03:20 AM: I hads to run lastnight over to the Mannashtash to move camp due to a fire 1/4 mile away . last week we caught two guys with a camp fire in that spot and some other jerk hunting and smoking and tossing his butts all over the trails . Come on guys lets use some common sense out there it's a tinder box.

I posted these before but if you want fire info go here, the 1st link is a map for current large fires in the U.S., the 2nd is the current incident report that goes into detail about where they are, how big, contained vs controlled, etc, etc, you may have to hit refresh to get them current if it's been a while, they are updated usually @ 5am daily

Post by: Rhinoron247 on September 15, 2011, 09:05:59 AM: Sorry to say I Saw many guys on motor bikes smoking this week. Also found several cig butts on the roads and trails. Not even going to get into the number of F'ing idiots on motor bikes riding on closed roads, trails and in areas no bike should be. Saw a Plum Creek Rep and game warden discussing this issue. Was able to give them several license plate numbers.

Would be a real shame to see these areas shut down because of these actions.

Post by: jstone on September 15, 2011, 09:12:26 AM: Yep, people need to take more responsibility in there action. Had about 6 Russians on bikes pass me on the road last year, i was walking out in the dark and they flew by me. They where also up on the ridge shooting there guns while i was muzzy hunting.

Post by: npaull on September 16, 2011, 07:25:29 AM: Why is it that smokers are the last group of people that get to litter any damn place they please? It really pisses me off to see smokers just dropping butts everywhere. Don't know how or why they think they get that special treatment to be able to litter at will...

Exampls: Boeing made it's property non-smoking. Now all the smokers go outside the gates and smoke on the Renton sidewalks. The city of Renton is always getting on Boeing because of all the cigarette butts on the sidewalks, and I do mean a bunch.... it is ridiculous.

Same thing for the Boeing site where I work. As a matter of fact the butt littering is one of the components that helped Boeing decide to ban tobacco products from their property.

Smoke if you must but for those who still don't get it that non-smokers don't want to see your butts on the ground or have land and property put at risk by your careless flinging of butts I just don't know how you live with yourselves. It's beyond ridiculous. Be responsible!

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on September 16, 2011, 11:26:40 AM: The other one that kills me is people hanging cigarettes out the window of the car while you are behind them, ever see what hot ash does to car paint? 90% of roadside brush fires are started this way. The world is not your ash tray.

If someone is following that close...I'd say there are two idiots in the equation.
