Thread: Crap Bivvy in the Bush

DOC regard them as taboo. Have heard sometimes they send teams in to dismantle a few that have sprung up but I don't think their budgets cover more frequent missions so they might not be winning the campaign.
Personally they annoy me. I kinda live by the belief I should take only game ( deer, chamois, tahr, pigs ) and leave only footprints. If I want to camp I carry gear in and pack it all out at trips end.
To me
The most annoying thing is that a hunter settles on what he thinks is a decent hunting spot and brings in all the paraphernalia ( consisting largely of plastic items ), sets up a permanent camp that he probably visists for a year or two maybe until becoming bored with hunting there and desiring newer pastures. Then instead of dismantling and removing the camp and accumulated equipment just moves out and leaves it all to slowly break down in the weather and become a polluting pile of crap. For crying out loud, we're hunters and should be showing our hunting environment a damn sight more love and respect than that.
