Howdy folks! It’s me again, your ole’ lawyer here that would rather be a hunting or fishing guide. I’ve briefly touched on this subject before, but it just gets in my craw when I see trash on our beautiful landscape. I live on acreage north of town, and the trash that litters the ditch really irks me. While we pick it up, I see the same trash on my hunting/fishing leases. Beer cans, discarded fishing line, deer hunting corn sacks, and farmers bale wraps – it never ends.
I was taught at an early age to take care of the places we were allowed to go. Leave it better than when you found it. I don’t know how many campsites I’ve seen when people depart and just leave trash everywhere for others (like me) to clean up. I’ve saved animals that had fishing string wrapped around them or plastic on their head. I simply don’t understand it.
It literally doesn’t take any time to simply throw away your trash in a dumpster or trash can. Quit being lazy and help us keep our state beautiful. A littering ticket can cost you up to $2000, and by golly if I see you litter, I’ll be the first to turn you in.
Rant over. Until next time, folks!
