I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post in or not, but I had to say something. My wife and I visited Salt Fork State Park (Ohio) and stayed at the lodge this past weekend. Not there for hunting, but decided to check out the state run shooting range while there.

I was totally amazed at what I saw. I don't even know why the state bothers to provide the facility for us. There was trash everywhere, there were shot gun shells everywhere. I didn't have my camera with me but it was so bad I wanted to go back and take a picture to show other people, but time ran out.

I have literally seen garbage dumps that were better up kept than this shooting range. I was embarrassed to call myself a hunter. I was embarrassed to be there looking at that range with my wife. The site was nothing but an eyesore. It was also right on the side of the road where everyone driving by could see how much respect and appreciation we hunters actually have.

If I wouldn't have been on my anniversary I would have went to the store and purchased a box of garbage bags to clean the disaster up, and that indeed is what it was, a disaster.

Can't we do a better job?

Highly Disappointed Hunter,

Jeremy
