DNR Reminder: Fish shelter identification required

Recommended Posts

In a portable this basically covers it, not many leave a portable unattended overnight, not in my experience anyway. And if you do wish to, buy the tag and still be sure to add your ID number plain for all to see as prescribed in the regs.

All shelters placed on the ice must display either the complete name and address, a driver’s license number, or the nine-digit DNR number on the license of the owner. The information must be plainly and legibly displayed on the outside of the shelter, in letters and figures at least 2 inches high.

Yup...I think I get it...Put my ID number on it, and then bring it home with me.. and I'm good.

• Any sled, trailer, or other device that is towed by a snowmobile during

hours of darkness must display visible reflector material on each side

and at the rear.

AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Guess it's time to get out the reflective tape and hotmelt glue it on to the Otter travel cover. Sheesh. Maybe I can get away with sticking it on the sides and rear of the tub below where the travel cover goes. shockedshocked

Here's some more stuff to consider if you are traveling at night with a snowmobile and pulling a shelter.

Reflector Material

• Snowmobiles must have at least 16 square inches of reflector material

on each side forward of the handle bars. (My registration numbers are reflective and more than 16 sq. inches)

• Any sled, trailer, or other device that is towed by a snowmobile during

hours of darkness must display visible reflector material on each side

and at the rear.

Greg what book is this listed in? Fishing or Snowmobile Reg's?

I think if a guy uses the 3-M ScotchBright reflective trailer marker tape on the rear corners of the shack/sled, and wrap it around the corner so both sides are visible, it will work well. That tape sticks to any plastic or metal, and stays put.

So this is a stupid question, but I was wandering can I just put my name, MN DNR number, and phone number on there? Because the reg says a name and address or MN DNR, if I already have my DNR number on there do I still need my address. Because that takes a lot of space. I don't want to post too much personal info. I have a Clam 5600 Suitcase style portable house that I will be removing every time I'm done for the day.

Well I spoke with a couple of CO's last night on the snowmobile trail. They patrol the Metro area lakes regularly and I specifically asked them about reflectors on the outside of the tub when pulling on the ice. I was told that this is something they wouldn't be looking for and weren't even aware of that reg.

I'm not saying that you don't need it, I'm just relaying what I was told.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
