What is your phone number? I provided mine in my first message. You have no idea what a big problem this has been for several years. I have been the one who has spent many hours picking up the debris, had to stomach seeing the damage to our trees, putting up signs that get torn down, and then having to listen to the other neighbors complains about the noise. You bet I am angry.

Based upon the level of communications, I would rather keep this via email. I am sure you would understand that I do not feel like being verbally berated and our site blamed for a minority of shooters who do not pick up after themselves. Especially since that map page is less than a year old.

Being an active shooter and outdoorsman, I have seen the by-product of what happens when irresponsible people use our public (and private) lands as a dumping ground. I am one of many people who will go out of my way to pack out MORE than I packed in when I come to places like that. There is a member of our online community, Robert, who goes by the moniker FMJ911 who frequents your property (unaware that it is private, until now). Every time he goes there he mentions how much he has packed out in the way of trash and debris that was left by others. He has even been trying to organize a group clean-up effort for those locations. These are the people who are working, voluntarily, on your behalf to keep that area cleaned up.

I know that if one could guarantee that all visitors to your property were like Robert then this discussion wouldn't have taken place. Alas, I cannot speak for the over 360,000 firearm owners in the State though.

Now that it has been brought to our attention that the property located is private property, and that the land owner wishes the activity to stop, we will do our part by removing the location on our map. I cannot control the access to your property or the will of the individual who will continue to shoot there.

I wish you the best of luck in attempting to regain control of your area. From what I have heard, that area has been known as a "shooting spot" for many years. I will make a post on our site and others outlining our conversation and expressing the property owners wishes to keep people off.

Let me know if there is more we can do.
