Well went up to the hunting property this morning with my brother to set some trail cams and possibly move his tree stand or just cut in laneways depending on if he wanted to relocate it or not. We got there at about 6am. It's a 1 Mile drive down a dead end dirt road,that leads to a private driveway which is a right of way to the logging road. Taking the log road for less than half a mile and you hit the log header in which we stage from. So it's out of the way ,and not many go back there. Anyways we get up to the header this morning to find some filth of the earth decided it was a good place to dump a house clean out. So back down to my brothers house to grab the dump trailer and some gloves...than down to the dump we go. So disgusted with people. Aquaruims,two pools, garbage,,shingles,and about 20 bags of bricks....BRICKS! The pictures don't do it justice,it was much bigger mess than they show.

Looks like the topic of this year's club meeting is going to be a gate and a few trail cams. I'd hate to have the land owners group come up and see it and loose our clubs privilege to lease this 1200 acre plot

Make sure you report it to the locals of the area so they can keep an eye on things, that's a good way to lose access if it gets bad enough. We need more people like you and less like the others out there. PM me a PayPal address and I'll gladly i'll chip in 10% of the bill to help with the slobs mess you had to pay for. People do that around here on BLM ground and it really makes me mad, then good people have to go out there on their time and clean it up, luckily the landfill and county works with good doers to take the trash.

That's very generous of you! I'm going to talk to the fella that lives at the end of the private drive where the logging road branches off,and see if he had seen anything. There was alot of stuff and one would think it would have been pretty noticable hauling that junk in,only club members and the landowners /Forester are supposed to be up there.

Edit to add:

I emailed the club president and we are going to discuss this during the annual meeting next month. There's only 17 members ,and I believe we will divy up the expenses of the clean up.

Yea would have been nice. Going to get a cheap trail cam to watch the roadway to snag plate numbers . The stuff had to of been there a while because it was pretty gross,smelled like an old swamp.

Wow! That's a big chunk of dough to dump some trash.

Probably the reason it got dumped where it was instead of being taken to the landfill in the first place. Dumping like this is why the walking lanes on most of the Public Land around here has a berm or locked gate at the entrance. Seems to be much more profitable for business for those contracted to dispose of old tires and for building contractors to dump construction debris out in the woods, instead of taking it to the landfill or proper dump and paying the cost. Same goes for folks moving out. Seems they drive just far enough to get away from the streetlights and then proceed to throw all their unwanted items in the ditch. As for hunters, many of them are slobs too(this does not include the OP or any of us), one can go to almost any dumpster on a construction site, or at a local school/business that has dumpsters and find a pile of deer carcasses after the recent gun deer season. Instead of paying the minuscule amount to have the carcass properly disposed of, they trespass on private property and make those responsible for the dumpster pay. Sometimes it's a whole deer minus just the backstraps, or if there was a warm spell during the season, the whole deer.Folks don't realize it, but that is a crime too. Trash is becoming a big business. Used to be those around here that did it for a living drove old trucks and worked long hours by themselves just to make ends meet. Now all you see is new trucks and well paid workers......but that comes at a cost. Thus, the dirtballs use the woods instead. When a pile of trash is found around here, authorities put in a lot of effort to find out who did it. Funny how many times those that dump the trash don't realize they are leaving a easy trail back to them......as in old mail and empty boxes with a shipping address on them. I've seen plaster cast of tire tracks taken and the neighbors(if any close) questioned. In a coupla cases where I found trash on public land, I have had police contact me and inform me they caught the culprits.
 
Sorry to hear about that. I'd have made a police report anyway. Sometimes local cops already have suspects in mind and when they catch them doing it elsewhere there is an outside chance of compensation.
 
In the third pic, it appea4rs there are some clay pigeons in the fray. This tell me the person probably was a hunter/shooter themselves. Almost makes you wonder if a member or a former member of your club had something to do with it, especially since it a difficult place to find/get to.

No clays, they where actually dinner plates. To me in looks like it was the stuff you find from a bank property clean out.

Edit, didn't realize I got my younger brother in the last pic lol

That’s what I was gonna suggest. If you get the DNR involved, they have zero sense of humor for this. They WILL prosecute here. All you need is even a gas slip with an account number.
 
I'm convinced that the costs associated with using a dump/landfill contribute to this sort of thing. No one wants to pay $144 to get rid of trash. I'm not saying I have solution, but if it weren't so pricey, I think there would be less trash where it doesn't belong.
