Trash

[For the last few weeks I have been going for a daily walk on some private property near my home. It's a beatiful place that has been timbered and there are quite a few trails through it. Of course, it has it's share of accumulated trash from some who walk, hunt and 4 wheel there. As of now it's not posted, but I can only see it comming. It was pretty discusting seeing the trash scattered all over the trails, but I just kept walking by it. I didn't put it there and I could take it all anyway. Finally, I thought I don't need to carry a trash bag and pack it all out. If every time I went out I picked up one item, be it a can, a bottle, an empty cigarette back and carried it out it would help. I have, and it has. There is always room to take one item back out of the woods or fishing area and it is really no inconvience. Makes you feel good too. I'm not writing this to get a pat on the back. This for me is just a good place to give this idea a chance to catch on. I told two other walkers what I was doing this week and it may have already. If you're in the woods, along a stream, or in a boat, please pick one for me. Thanks,

Worst lazyness I've ever seen was 2 cases of beer and assorted other trash left fifty feet from a trash can on private property. I picked it up.
Another time I spoke up and two guys started a fight with me. Turns out they couldn't fight and after a couple punches they ran off and used their cell phone to call the police. They knew the cops and I didn't and I spent the night in jail. Moral to the story- Doesn't matter how right you are sometimes it pays to keep quite and pick up after the jerks.

well good news is there are alot of people who do care and pick up after others..i musky fish and its all catch and release therefore i really have no use for my livewell other than using it to keep food and drinks in with ice during summer, otherwise its where i put my trash while on the water. also i pick floating trash up and put it there when i get home i put it all in the trash. i guess meaning of this is dont feel alone lot of us help also all my friends that fish also retrieve trash from the water and if u dont do it cause u have noplace to put it try ur live well..

my dad always taught me and my brothers if u take something in the woods or on the water it comes back out with you and if you see someone else's trash you pick it up. Its call outdoorsmanship and I wish everyone would follow that it doesn't look good when people leave trash laying around how would u like someone to go to your property and throw there trash on it. Bet no one would appreciate that
