Hayes said hunters who field dress their animals at their campsites need to be careful of how they dispose of the entrails. Proper disposal of litter and human waste is equally important to the environment. One of the biggest problems that campers have is disposing of their own waste properly, she said. I know where people camp because you can see little Charmin muffins scattered all over the woods. Ann Bond, spokeswoman for the San Juan - Rio Grande National Forests in Durango, said that litter left behind by campers is a big problem.
People have to clean up after themselves.
Hunters should be proud that they can visit public lands and use them without damaging the natural resources. The best surfaces are sand, rock, snow, dry grass, and pine needles. In popular areas, concentrate use in established campsites. Spread out use in remote areas. Reduce litter at the source by repackaging food into reusable containers.
