I want to organize a local group shoot and clean up for Hodge Road.
I was out there about 3 months ago and it was fairly clean, some trash but not terrible. I went back out last week and it is filthy. I mean tv's, propane tanks, ammo boxes, tons of junk kind of filthy. Arrogant shooters are going to ruin the open BLM land for the rest of us if they keep leaving trash.
Now, you may be asking yourself, what can I do? I feel so helpless...
Alas, there is something you can do to help:
A group shoot and clean up. This has worked in the past and has helped clean up other local BLM areas.
What we do:
Show up
shoot (responsibly)
Pick up trash.
Everyone will be required to pick up their trash along with, at a minimum, one bag of existing trash per person in your vehicle. It won't get rid of all of the trash but it sure will make it look cleaner. It would be nice for pickup truck drivers to offer up some of their bed space for those in sedans. I'll even supply the black bags and a case of H2O for the day.
Now don't fret, this won't be until after the holidays. I'm shooting (no pun intended) for a weekend in February or March. I'd like to make this a biannual event, or quarterly if there was enough interest. Any who, as I get more interest, I'll provide a more definitive date/time/meeting location.
Lets save some BLM land while throwing the proverbial lead down range.
