Those off-leash dog owners are also careless about dog poop on the trail. Somehow because it's among the trees must mean that their poop is organic and we all want to see it, smell it, and step in it. I want to confront them, but i know that it will not result in behavior change. I think about carrying pepper spray, but I do feel bad for the off-leashed dog, it's not his fault his owners are negligent jerks. And I don't want to bother the forest rangers, they are already understaffed, underpaid, and I prefer less police checkpoints in nature.
