Trash Cleanup Success

Recommended Posts

A big thanks to all who attended the 7th Arizona Hunters Who Care Trash Cleanup Day. A whopping 288 volunteers from around the state converged on southern Arizona to help out the wildlife habitat. We picked up a whopping 48,000 pounds of trash. The dumpsters were so full, that G&F had to use two of their big trailers to haul off trash, and many volunteers left with trucks full of trash.

 

The picture that many of you saw with the football sized area covered in trash has now been returned to wildlife habitat instead of a dump.

 

Thanks to our many sponsors:

 

Arizona Deer Association

Safari Club, Arizona Chapter

Pima County Waste Management

Sunstate

Napa Auto Parts

West of the Pecos Gun Shop

Unicoa Indunstrial Supply

The Groundskeeper

 

 

With their help we were able to give away a ton of stuff for free to our volunteers. And congratulations to the three volunteers who won rifles for their hard work.

 

Next year will be even better. More give aways, including..... Well, I will make you wait to hear what what awesome giveaways we will have next year.

 

to be continued......

Dave, it was nice to see you down there again. This thing has really gotten BIG in a short time, hasn't it?

 

Kudos to those that showed-up to support this! It was great a time, for an excellent cause. Good job to Lance, Bobby Boido, and Gabe Paz for leading the charge!

 

Truly, more folks aught to try to join-in next year though. C'mon down and camp-out for a night. What a great time it was to share a camp fire & meet new folks. You wouldn't have believed the great food in the camp as well. Nothing like getting a bunch of folks who like to cook & eat together!!! Elk chili, green chili?s roasted on the mesquite fire, huge rib-eye steaks, beans slow-cooked all day long, fresh peach AND berry cobbler done in the Dutch oven, fried potatoes, grilled pork chops, the list goes on & on.... Oh, and of course some awesome menudo on Sunday morning! ;)

 

Lance, my two little ones had a great time running around with Cole. You should have been there Saturday night. Gabe and his buddies had me laughing so hard, I about busted a gut! :)

 

We'll see everyone next year!

Hey Stan,

Who was the foxy gal taking registrations? I thought about talking to her once but I think her dad was standing by watching me. :)
