HEY DOVE HUNTERS!!!

PICK UP YOUR DAM HULLS, WATER BOTTLES AND BEER CANS. It never fails, your going to have about 1 in 10 hunters that don't bend at the %$#@ing waist. I beat this into my hunters but some feel too good to have to pick up their trash I guess. I realize your not going to find them all esp shooting a semi auto, but at least pick up every one you see and even those that aren't yours,,that makes up the difference.
Hulls are bad for the Cows plus it just looks bad, I take pride in my place and I expect my hunters to keep it clean.

Rant Over...

one of my pet peeves

Agreed. Most insist they forgot, but can still seem to remember their birds and gun every time. Peculiar how things work out.

I'm with you 100%

No excuse for that crap, I always make it a point to take out more trash than I bring in, just to cover the occasional hull I lose.

Magnet on a stick makes it quick!

I hate automatics just for that reason. Me and the wife pickup our empties and any others we find.

I not only pick up my own (that can be found that Browning Silver Hunter sure as heck chunks them empties and its almost anew sport of sorts finding them some times) but I pick up others. I'm fact I picked a mess of old 20 ga yellow hulls from last season that got left by someone under the mesquite tree I hunt by on a APH unit. I say last season cause they were "rusted" already. Also might get a press and reload the good ones one of these days....maybe!

Preach on brother. I picked up my hulls and others that I found. I saw a very good dove lease lost due to idiots trashing the place. They actually cleaned their birds where the cows were fed and threw their trash in the feed troughs. IDIOTS!

I will say, those green Remingtons can be hard to find in the tall grass. I search pretty good for mine, but I'm sure I've missed a few.

I make a game for my kids to see who can pick the most up. I carry a home Depot orange bucket, and which ever kid gets the most empties gets 2$ the loser gets a dollar. Keeps em entertained.

ok I have to ask...what good is a magnet on a stick??

Hell yes , leave it better than you found it. We even breast our doves into a trash bag and take it with us.

Guys like Stompy like this,, it's just the right thing to do...

I agree! Pack it in, pack it out!

X-2

I have one and it will pick up most all hulls. It will pick up 2-3 at a time. Found mine at Northern tools, It's about a 3-4" round magnet on a 3' stick. It works good.

Picked up about 700 hulls tonite.

Farmer already pizzed about hulls all over the field.

Lazy bastards

Farmers need to take names and turn the trashers away next time !

There was a dude on opening day breasting a ton of dove behind his car right in the line of fire.
Thanks jackazz, now place full of ants and stinky for days. Some people are just dumb or ignorant

I put my dove in zip lock bags on ice and breast them when I get home. You could leave your dove on ice for a week uncleaned and they are fine. I do the same thing with duck road trips.

I just happen to hunt on a public dove WMA that is also owned by a man I do some side work for. We have the GW on speed dial and I will not hesitate to walk my arse over there and tell you to pick up your chit. You are trashing a place that I work on, don't mess with my fences either. Every year some jack wagons wrap the wires so they can cross easily. There are animals out there and the fences are there for a reason. We ended up having to go ride all the fences every weekend to fix that. Have some respect people. A private party owns that land and its leased to the state so that we hunters can hunt on it. Rant over. Milam Co WMA Complex is the property

really.... yall are blaming automatic shotguns for laziness....

agree though with the trash either way...

I have instilled into my little brothers that after each box they are to stop shooting and pick up their hulls! I hate when people are so dang lazy that they can't pick up their own hulls!

I pick up my shells after every shot. Much easier to do it as you go. I keep a bucket with me that I throw the empties in and now that I have an O/U it's a game to see if I can eject them into the bucket from my seat. My semi-auto throws them about 10 feet.

I usually clean my birds at home. I have a dog and anyone with a dog knows they will eat the carcasses if you don't watch them. Dumping them where you set up, park, or near the gates is just moronic.

Yeah pumps can chunk them too, especially when you are as muscular as me.

Home Depot has magnets on poles that are used for roof construction to help find nails etc on the ground. Picks up empty shell hulls too. Work smarter, not harder.

Pick up your hulls

Bwwwwaaahhhhhaaaa I almost spit coffee all over the keyboard on these two qoutes...and hell,,,,
I'm not even drinking any!

Thank you for doing this. PM sent regarding a similar topic.

truth

Dont know if any of yall are leasing, but when i do, on the release and contract there is a $200 "trash and pain in my a$$ fee per hunter in your group/party" worded exactly like that. I go around every hour or so and if needed remind them that there day can get rather expensive. Havent had but one problem.
