Shotgun shells are litter and should be treated as such. The brass rusts away but the plastic tube remains for years. Land owners don't appreciate mowing over them or plowing them up. You wouldn't throw paper plate on the ground on purposewould you?

I pick them up if I remember to, butI don't think it's that important.I shoot a semi auto so it's rather hard to find the spent ones. If I'm on private land or WMA's I will especially try to remember.

Yea, always have as we hunt on my buddies father-in-law's farm out of respect for him, plus as Crazy Horse RVN stated, also due to the bovine inhabitants.

Kinda bums me out when I am hunting or hiking and run across spent shells that are sun rotted and crispy laying around. Not flaming anyone, but just MHO...

I do most all the time. I have had occasions where I have not thought about it because I'm focused on the hunt, but I try to remember. I see no difference between the cases and used drink cans and paper wrapers. It just looks bad to see them lying around. Moreover when I sight in my rifles in I pick up the brass, and other people's garbage most of the time. I draw the line on .22brass except my own...just too much around!

I am a reloader so I do pick up my hulls. But there is a bigger issue here, hulls are not good for farm equipment or animals. Pick them up. Gselkhunter

Trash and shells!

Yeah, I pick mine up as well. I have gotten in the habbit of grabbing them as soon as I break open my gun, before theyeject andhit the ground.
