I just want to know who the political figure is, that is referenced above 🤭

Seems this topic comes up yearly. I’m disgusted by the slobs but I can’t change em. I try to leave campsites better than I found em and that means hauling out ( on my back sometimes) others trash. It’s called no trace for a reason, but that concept escapes a lot of people.

That turn off is one of the worst smelling spots off 84

No doubt about it.

What is really strange to me....

who would Pee on a hard flat surface?

SLOBS!

Trash in general, but I am astounded every year at the number of sh*t piles and TP that I find right in front of gates, on the edge of roads, on logging landings, etc. It’s so common that I know a good number of people reading this are offenders. If you can’t make it off the road and bury or at least cover your mess, it’s time to see a proctologist, and maybe just plant your lazy ass in front of the TV for good. Gross.

I "had" a couple of guy's out for a deer hunt.... I walked past stands... as I said "had"....total slobs.

This brings up another adjacent point to all this. I spend some time each year trying to meet new landowners. Primarily for upland hunting. Many are polite, some are not. The most common response from these people is ‘oh we used to allow access but we had too much ___’. Insert slob behavior- trash, dangerous shooting, doing donuts in our wheat fields, trespassing, gates left open, etc. It’s just shocking to me with how hard it is to get private land access that so many people apparently act this way.

We had a very simular experience with a land owner that we worked with since 1954 for bird hunting. We spent alot of time helping him/them keep the place up from people trashing fences, leaving gates open, shooting up irrigation lines and tearing up roads.

The bad experiences are much harder to forget than the good deads done it seams. So sad people can't have respect like its their own. And realize how fortunate we are to be able to access some lands. People who care are a dying breed. Don't get me wrong there are still some outstanding people, but also some that are just what this thread is about "slobs" who just dont care and will never change.

Now that the big game hunting season is on, Please dont be a slob hunter.

For me the Classic example of a slob hunter is one that Pooped and Pees everywhere.

Please be polite and clean up after yourself.

Example.....
I was meeting my mother on my way home at the intersection of Hwy. 74 and I 84. Heppner / Ione exit.
Its a convenient place to visit for Her coming from Umatilla and I heading back into the valley.
No one else there, til rig with camper pulls up and two dudes get out and proceed to pee within full view.
I was embarrassed that someone would do that in front of a lady. Let alone my mother.

What behaviors that you believe make a slob hunter?

Thank you

Saw a slob hunter just last weekend. They shot a black bear in the middle of a paved road just outside of the town of Mossyrock, then while tossing it in the back of their white pickup managed to dump garbage out from the cab before driving away. For me slob hunters are those folks that have no respect for the environment and game they are hunting. They dump garbage, leave a gut pile in the middle of the road or unhidden, block gates, and just display a complete lack of class.

 

[baltz526]

dig a privy you slobs. that is the first chore when you pull into camp. then bury it when you leave. pull your tarps and leave it like you found it. SLOBS!

 

[bonjoevi2000]

Also I'm seeing a lot of cheapo pop up canopies left at campsites. Probably left out during wind and got broken.
Not sure why people are not taking these broken canopies with them?
I have used the tarps for wood covering before.
I find them every year.
Then there's the black plastic outhouse that hunters seem to think it's ok to leave? That is litter plain and simple. If you put it up,please take it down..
Last thing we need to see while driving down the road.Is A black plastic square that does not belong.

I hiked in 2 miles on a gated private timber company road, came to a second closed gate and someone drove their car in from an open gate for log trucks, ****ed me off to begin with, than about a 1/4 in this jerk off crapped in the middle of the road and left TP thrown around, so I got a big chunk of bark from an old stump and a stick collected his crap, carried it back to his car and smeared it all over his windshield.....childish? Yes, but boy I felt so much better 🤣

A Hersey wax job, eh?

I hope everyone realizes the slob hunters everyone mentions laugh at us. There is a segment of this society that derives considerable delightful joy about pushing audacious and crude behaviors in the face of others if they know it bothers them. Right now we are receiving a double dose break down in social order, respect, and decorum. That's going to surface everywhere including the forest. Many feel they have been empowered and given license to act as repugnant as they wish. They are correct. They have..... Many prefer it. I've seen a couple of campsites that spoke "in your face" pretty loudly.

I stopped there once and in the ditch was 3 boxes of lettuce and tomatoes that didn't get delivered to a restaurant.

Bernie said it of course….said we are turning 3rd world poverty
I watch the other side occasionally so I’m well versed in all political BS

 

[derrick454@]

Maybe some of slobness steams from our soft society and everyone gets a trophy attitude…..No repercussions….
I was scared to death to liter when I was kid. Thought I would go to jail and it not that a good whooping from my parents. We are so so so soft nowadays. Downfall of society…on the side of the road, I recently saw a trucker throw his pee bottle out in an area of Oregon and next to him was a sign that warns you of a 6 grand fine for littering. People don’t care

Much has been written here, and quite effectively, about the "cleanliness" aspect of slob hunters, but I would like to focus on the "laziness" aspect of the term as defined by the dictionary (above).

While the cleanliness aspect can certainly get in your face (the feces, trash, half-burned camp chairs, etc), I also find the laziness aspect gets under my skin -- and the fact that laziness and general cleanliness seem to go together -- and even travel in packs -- when you are talking about hunters, of whom I consider myself a (not always shining) example.

Taking shots at animals that are well out of range is a form of extreme laziness that seriously rattles my cage. The sight of some fat S.O.B. who is too damn lazy to put the stalk on an elk at 450 yards when he should know damn well he could barely hit the critter at 150. Then pow-pow-pow -- the mountains resound with the sound of insanity, and another precious elk limps into the horizon to die with a bullet -- or an arrow -- in its guts.

Skybusting in all its forms is a frequent vestige of the slob hunter.

Leaving gut piles in the middle of a nature trail often frequented by non-hunters: slob behavior.

Pulling into a campsite and blasting loud crappy music without checking if other campers like Ted Nugent or Kid Rock: slob behavior.

Leaping out of your truck and cussing at the top of your lungs when you pull into a campground and there are kids around: slob.

Blasting off rounds of AR-15 ammo in the middle of a wilderness area without knowing if anyone is around you: slob.

I could rattle on for a long time about this, because it's one of my pet peeves about society these days: there is a simple lack of civitas -- what my parents used to call "good manners." The simple truth is, we should all adhere to common codes of basic human decency when we are hunting -- or doing anything else. That goes double for recreational activities that involve firearms.

Yes. Richard pulls into camp. Digs a nice, sufficiently deep hole. Erects the privy around it and provides the seat assembly. Also included is a bucket of sand and a can so you can sift some sand over what you leave for odor control. It all gets taken down and the hole filled in when he departs. Never know it was there when gone. A little labor to dig the hole. A little labor to put up the surround. A little foresight to help with odor. Simple. Absolutely no reason to not adopt this simple approach. We stake down a simple pop-up. If it's winter hunting we put the small Buddy heater in there with a magazine showing photos of animals larger than the ones on our meat pole for incentive. Labor intensity is very minor. People like us. They don't squawk about us on line or call us names. We rake the camp site too to make sure it's in good order for the next occupant. If there is anything in the fire pit that doesn't belong it goes in the take home garbage bag. Nobody gets any points for acting like a cave man. Even they knew better than to live in ****e.
