A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

My dove club requires empties to be carried out, but I spend half my time picking up empties from the dipsh*ts that don't clean up after themselves.
I don't pick them up when squirrel hunting in the woods.
I follow an old guy on Youtube who does a lot of metal detecting in the TN mountains. He finds a lot of 100+ year old shotshell heads and that's pretty cool.

Yes, only slobs leave their garbage outdoors. Same for rifle brass. Pick it all up if at all possible

Gimme a fugking break. It's a fact. On our ranch out west, dove hunters left a bunch of hulls around waterings and the ones I found later were chewed up by cattle. No telling how many were swallowed. It causes a condition known as hardware disease and it is a fatal condition.

Birdwatcher: Waterfowl - always! Upland Game Birds 90% of the time. We have game wardens here in SW Montana that HAVE issued "littering citations" for waterfowlers I know who have left the spent shot shell hulls in the field. I have come across piles of 3 1/2" shot shells lying in wheat fields that other "Hunters" discarded and I have even picked them up. I imagine the farmers who own the fields don't really want the hulls lying around? Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

Now the brass plated bases will rust away, leaving the plastic there forever. True, but it’s interesting if you can read the shot size and load, high brass/low brass, brand/gauge. Single shells don’t bother me much. I would expect the plastic would degrade to fragments before the brass is gone. Incidentally they say every piece of plastic ever made still exists, somewhere. All matter ever made exists somewhere.

Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Anybody who I allow to hunt on my land picks up their empty hull mess. If not, they aren't invited back. Ever.

I shoot double guns and the spent shells never hit the ground.

I'm reminded of the pictures of the US dumping munitions into the ocean after WWII. One picture that I remember in particular showed them dumping a huge quantity of brass artillry shells.
