I have found it enjoyable that while shooting out in the BLM area where there is a lot of garbage to pick up as much brass and other goodies as possible. Today being New Years Eve, the area was packed with people shooting. A buddy and I went around after we finished shooting to all of the locations where people were set up and collected more than 50 pounds of brass. The local recycling places are offering $1.60 per pound. We just made our money back from the ammo we spent and have enough left over for a lot of new ammo.
Ya know, I suspect that the closing of some popular shooting spots in the desert are more so related to the fact that shooters that frequent these spots are PIGS! and do not clean up their trash. The first time i ever went out to mile marker 18? i believe off the 95 I was shocked at the amount of garbage left at these places. Frickin television sets, cars, refrigerators you name it, it was out there and shot to hell.
I remember as a child growing up around firearms my father would take me to a place on BLM land known as cherry creek to shoot. It was closed down due to garbage and trash being left as well as people shooting up the signs, buildings that were there "barns" and pretty much anything else.
It would not surprise me that we are losing our shooting spots due to the massive amounts of garbage and trash that people leave at these places.
Would be a great community service, PR campaign, for the OC movement, as well as most likely make the news if they are informed to hold an event of OCers cleaning up this garbage at popular shooting locations.
