Default Watch and weep for our West country

And people wonder why we face ever increasing restrictions.

Weird way of showing you love the outdoors. I think the pigs just like partying.

Exactly. These aren’t people that enjoy the outdoors. They just can’t act like that in their neighbourhood so they take there act to the outdoors instead.
Bunch of clowns...

True.. We have allowed this behavior in our back country for too long, the CO should have been writing tickets well before Sunday morning.. There are more than enough restrictions, we need action and enforcement IMO.

Pigs is right. How could anyone enjoy camping in a dump? are they just passing through? What happens next weekend? Do they bring a snow shovel so they can clear a path for their trailer so they can wallow in their own filth? Judging from the makes and models of their RV's I'd say it's a bunch of kids who know nothing about the outdoors and are used to having mommy clean up after them.

Sad.

Who thinks that's camping or just enjoying the outdoors?

I would like to buy that CO a drink.

yep.

The heathens out there need a swift kick in their pocketbooks. Hope those kids had just gone to bed when that CO got them up and out of their trailers to clean that up.

Wish i saw more CO's out even though my last experience wasnt the greatest when i had to argue with him in front of the misses that the stream we were fishing and had done so for the last 10 years was indeed open when he was adamant and getting pretty belligerant that it was closed. But i digress, he might have been having a bad day and mistakes do happen.

In 32 years of hunting both McMurray area and the coal branch country after i left McMurray, i have only been stopped and checked twice.

I don't agree. I believe that pigs are pigs regardless. I like to party and my site is immaculate......

These pigs live down the street in any neighborhood. Usually in a rental property. The alley is full of their trash. I simply call 311 and by-law comes out.....Trash is then gone.

These A-- holes are the same pigs tossing their cigarette out the window; leaving a fast food parking lot with trash all over the ground with a receptacle only meters away.....

Total disrespect and again the fines are far too small..... IMHO.

Happens all too often down here

Knowles Flats
Atlas staging area
Lost creek randoms
Carbondale randoms by the Canyon
The Gap by the Centennial hill
Anywhere up Dutch or the Upper Oldman
Up from the Gap by the Gravel pit
Random area by Tent Mountain

Behind the Frank Interpretive Center

My kids and I just wind up hauling garbage all summer when we go out fishin.

Sad....

This was published in May 2018 but I recall seeing this video footage at least a year or two ago. I'm not saying the same thing isn't going to happen this May long weekend in many places but this is old footage.

What a disgrace. If I did that when I was there age I’d get a 2x4 across my ass. Respect for people or property is not being taught. Everything to them is disposable as more often than not, nothing has been earned, everything has been either given to them or the bank owns it.

Millennials…wish we kept the receipt on those.
