MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I always pick up. We were stopped by the CO's last year on a last open season shore trip. In the back of my truck was a bag of bottles and can(that came from shore not us) it was a separate bag from garbage for recycling purposes. One of the officers asked to look through the truck, I willingly let him. He started to get up in my face about drinking in public places and drinking and driving after he saw the bag of empties. Ill add this was around noon and I had my 5 year old daughter with me. I took me dumping the bag and showing them how dirty and old (they came off a beach) the bottles and cans were. Just a little story to share about picking up.
I do also. I actually got checked for license once and the CO said she saw me picking up trash and thanked me. It really irks me to see it laying there, sometimes very near a garbage can.
yeah, I pick- up what I can, the issue is most the junk on the ice in my area is cigarette buts, they are everywhere, and one of the easier items to take with ya, so I dont get it really
I always have a few plastic grocery bags with me for picking up after the slobs, even occasionally for any fish I may catch.poorfisherman, originally why did they want to look though your truck? In your face and unwarranted lecture in front of you daughter, not cool. It happened to me one time and I don't really drink, maybe a six pack over a year and never drink and drive! I had crossed the double yellow line, to avoid a deer that had stepped out on the road, and he pulled me over! I was repeatedly questioned in front of my son about drinking and driving, even after admitted he had seen the deer and had to avoid it also. I got a lecture too? It kinda rattled my son, I had to reassure him he was doing his job to keep us safe, really unwarranted though...
Raised that way! Also raising my kids the same. Leave the woods as clean or cleaner than you found them.
I did get names and office locations and made a report/complaint. I never heard anything back. On all other occasions the officers I have delt with were very nice, friendly and willing to share tales. In the winter(twice same guy) coffee was on and lunch was cooking he was more than willing to stop, eat, drink and warm up in the shack.
