Found an illegal ‘campsite’, a cluster of about 5 or 6 individual tent sites, on BLM property, about a mile from our former house, while hunting a few years ago. They had abandoned clothes and some camping equipment; had had open fires at the height of fire season; left an several garbage pits/piles, and and hadn't even had the decency to fill in their latrine trenches. They had also left behind a stolen (per the sheriff’s deputy I took to the site) and partially stripped car.
Some years ago, my oldest brother heard several shots near sunset, the weekend before the deer opener. Next morning, he went out to investigate, and found five dead does on the far back of his property, left to rot, just missing their hams and backstraps.
I was up in WA in '97, a summer of devastating fires, and came on a smoldering fire piled with plywood and other flammable stuff. It was minutes from igniting into a blaze. I was livid. Got out and tore it apart all the while cursing at the top of my lungs daring the culprits to come back. Figured they weren't far away, just hastily left because the knew there was a fire ban.
The ring was built with some very big river donies but I hauled each and every one away and tossed them in different parts of the creek. There was no reason not to have a fire ring there but I was so bent about it I was determined to leave no trace of fire or ring. lol
