Truly this is heartbreaking.  I've witnessed vandalism of Native American rock art on the North Umpqua.   These special spots in Nature are irreplaceable.  And today,  there's also the story of the old fool who shot an killed Bullwinkle the big bull elk in Kittitas County Washington.  

 If you go  up in to the Coast Range west of here you'll find refrigerators and car parts dumped over the bank, bullet holes  in road signs, piles of shot gun and other shells scattered around various shooting sites, trails ripped up by ATVs, beer cans and other garbage strewn along forest roads.......sure, we want to "punish" the miscreants,----
but more important, what can we do to help folks learn to love and cherish Nature and our Outdoors again?
