This Saturday, October 10, marks the opening of Youth/Veterans special deer week in Area 2 of Northwest Louisiana.

Primitive weapons season will get underway on Saturday, October 24 and run through October 30. Then, on Saturday, October 31, it's modern firearms season.

However, the annual war with "corn bags on the roadside" has already begun.

My house is less than ten miles from Bodcau WMA and due to that proximity, every year I'm forced into "road cleanup mode" as thoughtless deer hunters litter the roadside with emptied deer corn bags carelessly left in the back of their trucks to become the problem waste for "someone else."

Sadly, I'm not the only one. There are literally hundreds who complain of the same issue.

As a deer hunter myself, I wonder just how bad of a name these idiots give the rest of our ever-shrinking number.

Looking through the multiple posts on Facebook, it's sad to see deer hunters called out everywhere for this totally avoidable act of littering.

This issue is totally avoidable. For those who are still just throwing those bags in the back of their truck to be blown out, let me provide the simple steps for prevention.

Fill your corn feeders
Using one emptied corn bag as a receptacle, shove all the other emptied corn bags inside
Place those bags/receptacles inside your vehicle (NOT in the bed of your truck)
Take them home or toss into the nearest public dumpster
Ta Da! You are now part of the solution; not the problem
