On a trail out in the woods why bother to scoop dog poop, that's a
nothing compared to bear poop... as I look out my window now the snow
has pretty much melted and for as far as the eye can see there are
piles of all sorts of critter poop that were frozen in the snow, and
it's still a bit too warm for the ground to thaw... but pretty soon
the temperture will rise so with the next good rain it all disapears
into the ground and becomes natural fertilzer. I can see pooper
scooping on a city sidewalk but in the woods, ridiculous. If I walked
outside now with a shovel I can fill my wheelbarrow with deer poop
etal in 20 minutes. I'm always happy when the birds land on my trees,
I feed them seeds and they fertilize my trees.
