The most often caught with this trap....... MORNING RUNNERS! especially when the trap is dug in the surfzone, where overnight it can become a leg splintering quicksand trap that appears level! EHH!

Yes, they have a beach attendant right in front of all of these kids and parents who are digging.

So, none of these people re-fill the holes?

:floor: .... You're serious, aren't you? Did you see the photos of the beach before and after which I posted about two or three weeks ago? The Gulf took care of the big hole -- it washed it out to sea with much of the beach around it.


Here are a couple more boar traps.

How about mines buried at 3 feet to discourage the rummaging?:lol:

Is hole digging the thing this year?

In addition to our poor pock-marked beach, down here near Eastern Lake the kids are even digging holes in the yards at the rental houses. :blink:

How many stars are in the sky? Do either questions really matter in this case?

Sure, there is nothing more exciting for a kid on the beach to dig a hole and see water come up from the bottom. The problem comes from the kids leaving the holes, and the parents not giving a crap. Do you think the parents would allow their kids to dig and leave holes in their own yard? Have some respect for the places you visit. Just because the property isn't deeded to you, doesn't mean you shouldn't give a crap about it. That would be like me not trying to save your kid from choking just because she isn't my own daughter.

Some of these holes are so deep I can't help but think "trench collapse". 😱 (I am married to a civil engineer- he had to take these safety courses.)

People need to respect any area they visit. By showing these photos and the ones of the beach falling into to Gulf, maybe people can enjoy the area without causing damage. Just leave the place like you found it!!😀

Why do kids feel the need to dig to China????:idontno: I have two that did this very same thing every year, I fell in once (ok I was drunk) and hurt my ankle. THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS BOARD I DO NOT let my kids do this anymore
