I would love to see this go viral and become standard practice for sportsmen/outdoor enthusiasts. When you are out in the field , you will see spent shotgun shells. We have all seen them. It gives sportsmen a bad name. They will not degrade quickly at all and stay there for years and years. Pick them up. Pack them out. This includes wads. Sportsmen have made strides cleaning up trash , most notably fishing line. This makes us all look better. Leave no sign. Anybody want to join me in this idea ? Great! Hunters, trappers, and fishermen above all should do all they can top keep trash out of the forests, fields, and streams. Around here some fishermen are the worst; bait containers, fishing line, beer cans litter the streams from the first day of trout season until high water flushes it down stream and up on to the banks to lie there from the next hundred years or so. I pick up my shells when hunting and try to never leave anything behind. It takes very little effort to clean up after ourselves. Reduce, reuse, recycle is an easy way to handle our trash.

We tell the kids not only should they not leave any trash behind, but they should leave with more than they came with. Leaving any trash gives all sports enthusiasts a bad name. The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.
