Wisconsin governor closes 40 state parks to recreational use (except for Turkey Hunting) to enforce social distancing recommendations. Move comes after record numbers of people are using the parks to social distance. increasing reports of congregating, leaving trash and vandalizing are some of the reasons for closure

They are definitely a different breed of outdoor enthusiasts when they don’t bring out what they take in. I also don’t get the vandalism mentality that some people have regardless of public or private lands... Really unfortunate.
 
What a shame... you turkey hunters do right by the land and show them park dwellers how to take care of stuff. Unfortunately all too often I find hunter sign aka trash in the woods too :rage:
