I'm a 61 years of age native Floridian I started going to the Osceola national Forest when I was 11 years old. Except for the 15 years I lived in Texas and after I was forced to medically retire from the ft worth Police department due to injuries suffered on the job, I have hunted that forest and camped in the same campground since I was 11 years old with my dad one of my brothers and many others. I have watched the forest and the campgrounds be decimated by logging companies and their machinery .not only would they come through public campgrounds at 4:00 in the morning tearing the roads up, they would block entrances to the camps, they would leave their trash everywhere, they tore down trees they weren't supposed to.wherever they logged,it would be a complete ecological disaster.just one big mud hole with dead trees everywhere. multiple times we observed dead animals. the camps used to be full of people where you could even find a camping spot unless you went really early even before the season even started .the last few years we were there we'd be the only ones, except for some homeless people that would make problems even worse .each year we would spend thousands and thousands of dollars in the local economy and so would everyone else because most of us in the campground came from other cities. we would come from spring Hill 175 mi South .other people came from Orlando ,St Augustine, many from Jacksonville some from Georgia each and every year and because of the problems and the issues they all stopped coming little by little. the last couple years we were there you had hundreds of people blocking the main road through the forest having illegal street car racing.they would block off all the roads including the campgrounds,with illegal dangerous street car races. dog hunters would be hunting in the still hunt area, theft was starting to become rampant it was simply disgusting and disturbing at the same time hundreds of species of animals and plants are going extinct every year and we are only making the problem worse.it's ironic that the federal government and the State of Florida wants people to spend money hunting and camping and fishing and enjoying the outdoors yet they take away the very areas that people need access to to do those things.it is the future generations that will pay the price and pay for our stupidity God help us all
