I always keep the emtpy cartridge and throw them in a box with the date written on them. Turkey hunting, I make sure to grab the hull and will try to find the wad too, along with picking up every feather I can possibly find and kicking dirt or leaves over any blood on the ground......I'm like serve pro of the woods when I kill a bird........."like it never even happened". I leave NO EVIDENCE.

I don’t think it’s much of an issue, Mother Nature reclaims what’s hers. I pick all mine up anyway since I reload and all my brass is Lapua
I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin Life really is awesome ... Soak it up while you can ...

It's negligible. If you're worried about the environment, you should be far more worried about the lead that gets left in the fields, in the form of lead shot. I bet that amount is massive. (I'm not worried about it) Just curious on the amount. I saw the 19-20 deer kill report on the DCNR site. Almost 30,000 deer reported so far. Imagining in my head what 30,000 empty brass would look like in a pile. If 75,000 deer are killed by the end of the season and none of the brass was picked up that's a bunch. Over 50 years of it? (just picked a number I got no real data) That's almost 4M cartridges. How big a pile is that?

I love it when I find shell casings on public land. Tells me where someone shot at one. Walking down a road last year I found 5 empty 300grain slug 12guage casings in one spot. Someone can't shoot. I pick up any I find and what comes out of my gun.

Always pick up my rifle casings so I can load em again and shoot another deer with it.

That much shucks blows out of the back of Morris's rolloffs every couple hours
