If my plan goes through you will have an unlimited bag limit and be able to trap or shoot the scum sucking varmints even at night. Nobody would want to eat the filthy creatures though 'cause it is said they taste like mud.

They leave their droppings all over the hard water and our friendly D.N.R. gets involved and asks me to give him a hand. The bottom line is I do not understand why so called sportsman treat our natural resourses the way they do. p here in the north country when the weather turns cold and we start fishing “hard water” I have run into quite a few Trashus Idioticus.

Bob, I believe your “out of sight, out of mind” statement has more depth and truth in it than most of us want to imagine.
Time and again we see where trash has been dumped along the road. For that person it is “out of sight, out of mind” and yet if someone were to dump garbage in that man’s front yard he would be outraged, after all, that is ‘HIS’ territory.
The same mindset that allows the trashing of our planet will also allow road rage and spousal abuse, etc. and it is based on a, ‘I don’t give a damn, or a,
nobody can tell me what to do’, or a, ‘i’m so clever’ or a, bully mentality.
It is the same irresponsible mindset that well meaning citizens have when they feed the bears, knowing full well that by doing so they are condemning the bear to an early death by habituating it to man.

Didn't know that you were such a <i><b>trash talker.</i></b> <br/><br/>Sadly your experience with the Trashus Idioticus Domesticus isn't an isolated incident. Just walk any roadside of any traveled community in our once beautiful country as you've done and the results will probably be the same. <br/><br/>There are laws on the books against littering but they are not enforced. The fact is that until they are enforced with <i><b>harsh penalties,</i></b> nothing will change. <br/><br/>How can we enforce them? I recommend vigilante action! For example simply keeping a camera handy and when you see a violation occur, record it and report it. It will take a bit of planning, preparation and some of your time BUT it will be time well spent.

Was following through the back woods a car with two young adults when the window opened and out came the McDonalds trash. It made me so crazicus that I stopped, picked up the trash and at the next stop sign honked and went up and gave them back their trash! Sometimes the trashus isioticus types make me carzicus.
