Balloons everywhere!
I've been doing a lot of scouting and I keep finding those helium party balloons everywhere. Anyone else seeing these? I hate litter. I've been dragging out a lot of pop, water, and beer cans. Thanks to anyone who carries out more than they take in.

Re: Balloons everywhere!
I've ran into balloons often in the woods over the years. Wonder how far they actually go with helium. I see alot of junk on state land. Especially on the wma's closer to the big city

Constantly finding them too. There are very few times my pack isn't filled with garbage at the end of a scouting trip.

Re: Balloons everywhere!
I found part of a weather balloon once!
Yeah the junk stinks. I never understood how they could carry a full can of pop or beer way back in. But leave the empty there! IDIOTS!!

I find those shiny foil balloons all over the place. Not surprised others are finding them too.

Re: Balloons everywhere!
I'm surprised at all the balloon findings. Can't say I've ever found one.
Beer cans on the other hand...

Re: Balloons everywhere!
We see some in the bottoms down here every once in a while.
I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

Re: Balloons everywhere!
I hate to see it. Especially the places on public land where low lifes decide they will use as a free garbage dump rather than pay for garbage pickup. And its kind of disturbing to see a doll laying in the middle of the woods on public land. I've seen this more than once.

Re: Balloons everywhere!
I noticed the free garbage dump in parking lot as well. Disgusting to say the least. I see alot of soda bottles and food wrappers as well. I don't get it, it was alot heavier carrying it in. Now that it is empty, it should be alot easier.

I know what you mean one time I was scouting n saw something on a tree when I got closer I saw a fire pit then realized the thing on the tree was a burnt face of a baby doll
