Garbage Left Behind...

[HD]

A message from the Department Of Natural Resources....

This annual problem seems to be getting worse -- ice anglers leaving their trash behind when they head for shore. It’s one of the most common complaints conservation officers receive during the winter. The simple solution: If you brought it onto the ice, pack it with you when you leave. There’s no excuse for leaving anything but an impression when you leave the lake. mndnr.gov/coreports

I always try to leave the lake cleaner than when I got got there..   I will tell someone to clean it if I see that!!

Pigs like that make me sick.  Had more than a few confrontation telling idjits like that to get their crap off the ice. I  always had a garbage bag with me, and usually ended up taking home other people's crap.

Irritates the heck out of me.  Makes me want to take pics so they get busted for it.

LPS,
Great idea.  I wonder how the DNR would look at it if you sent them pictures of a mess around a house and then they check it out after the house is gone.

I have to agree guys, it really torques me when I see it. I don't carry a garbage bag like Reb but still will pick it up & take home with me. Aluminum cans, cigarette butts, wood blocks, 1# propane tanks mostly, it's terrible. I'm afraid it won't get any better until they start fining the crap out of them. Heard they actually tracked dpwn a group on URL last season & convinced them to make another trip up there the next weekend to clean up some of that mess.

Good idea, DE. Think I read somewhere that as long as you have their shack license # or the vehicle, they could & probably would look into it.

[Rebel SS]

Yup. They follow up on that, and you get ticketed for littering.

These are the same slobs that throw their fast food bag out of the car windows onto the road or ditch. How lazy can you get?
