YELLOW SNOW

[DARK30]

SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT.....WE BRING A BUCKET AND TAKE IT HOME RIGHT? HOW MUCH DOES IT COST IF WE GET CAUGHT OUT BEHIND THE SHACK WRITING OUR NAME? DO THE RESORTS HAVE BIFFYS OUT ON THE ICE?
WET NETS!

At resorts you are on the honor system. Self serve unflavored snow cones are 10 cents and flavored (yellow snow cones) are 25 cents, its up to you to pay on your way off the lake.

Dark,

A fellow co-worker a few years ago was aproached at his fish house 2 years ago by a C.O. officer and was fined $75 because the C.O. was watching him from shore with binoculars and had witnessed him writing his name in the snow behind the shack.

One thing I have always used that my wife had come up with while out on the hardwater with me was an extra large Coffee Can that way the can has a lid so there will be no splashing or if you leave it outside you will have a frozen icy for transport to the garbage can at the landing or resort.

Good luck & Remember thier watching!

For stupid, this is just another case of DNR B.S. As long as your not out in the open it shouldn't matter. I don't think women and children are sitting on shore looking for on ice John Hancocks. I make it a point to go in the lake every time I go swimming. Lake or Pool. Just kidding.

HAhahahaa!
I saw this post & I started laughin'out loud! Dark30, you be a very very funny guy!

I , personally, think that this regulation has got to be one of the silliest I have ever heard!

So, If I spill my favorite beverage, out on the ice, should I scoop up all the snow it falls on & take it home??

I wonder if they'd have to keep a sample for evidence in court???

People, don't misunderstand me. I won't tolerate littering of any kind,
but natural bodily functions like urination being legislated is a hoot!

Just HAD to comment!

Smile & have a Great day!

[Lip RIPPER!]

This is a great topic. People have burned their fish houses out on the ice or let them sink because they can't get to them in the spring and that is ok? I hope the CO officer is downwind when I have to release a six pack of beer.

[GullGuide]

Yes it is a law. It is considered littering, in fact you can get a ticket if you are caught relieving yourself from your boat!

I've got a really funny story on this topic
A few years back I was out on the ice when this feeling came over me....
You know, the feeling that you get when it feels like your entire intestines are about to explode out your rear end...yea, you know which one I'm talking about:
Anyway, I quickly emptied my fishing bucket onto the floor of the house and quickly proceeded to take care of business.
All of a sudden came a rapping on the door followed by those famous words "Conservation Officer" and before I could say something, he flung open the door and put his head inside.
Needless to say the sight of my bibs around my ankles and me sitting on the pail, not to mention the refreshing aroma, caused him to make a hasty retreat. He told me that he would come back and check later, which he never did

Thanks Gullguide, I needed an afternoon laugh! I know the feeling, believe me! Funny how that feeling always happens in the fish house or after a 2 mile hike to the deer stand, or after a long paddle across your favorite slough!ScottS

[Dave]

Too bad you weren't done hwne he approached, Gullguide. You could've shown the CO your "catch".......lol

*holding the pail up to the CO's face...
"Here, take a look big guy!"

[Jim W]

I have one too many of those kind of stories Gullguide.
I guess I have been known to have a certain level of intolerance, causing many unexpected "blow outs"!

SOmetimes you just can't help it! Hey if a Moose can lay down a pile of tater tots...........

Thanks Dark! You probably got me removed forever!!!!!

I was going to keep quiet, but after hearing some of these stories I think you will get a laugh from this. I have the luxury toilet in my fishouse with the old toilet lid mounted to the top of a 5 gallon pail. Well after I dropped the Brown Trout in a bag, I was going to put it in the snowbank to freeze, take home and throw away. Nobody would ever know. Bad idea! I let my dog out to run around and she found it. When I let her back in the house I was knew right away from her breath. I looked outside my house and there must have been 5 pieces of trout all over the place. She wagged her tail and wanted a kiss. It is bad enough stinking up your house, but picking it up again really sucks.

Its amazing how it would be better hitting your thumb with a hammer then having the "boil down below".....We all know too well how funny its NOT when its happening....
Seems as though before a good fishing trip, Taco Bell or McDonalds always sounds good.....
Make some money and invent some sort of "kit" for those kind of predicaments...
Just an idea...

All I can think of is being cooped up in an 8X16 with 3 of your buddy's drinking beer and standing in the middle of the fishhouse [PoorWordUsage]in in a coffee can. The thought of it makes me laugh. 4 guys on a 3 day trip drinking beer better bring more than one coffee can. I pitty the guy who gets up first in the morning with a little grog going, and his head not all there, and decides to make some coffee.

[Guest]

Is this really a law? Or is this just a joke. This may be the dumbest thing that I have ever heard. Can someone please expand on this for me. ~Thanks

I have made plenty of yellow snow myself. But, the fact is is that you are in public exposing yourself. It does not matter if you are in an alley behind a bar or in the middle of the lake, it would still be public urination and possibly indecent exposure. Is this gonna stop me? No, but I do not urinate during the daytime outside the shack. Mr. C.O. can see a long way in all directions. Great topic!

[Kingfisher]

If yellow snow is a problem on the lakes, what is the DNR going to do about the dogs that come up and yellow my fish house, my snowmobile, four-wheeler, tackle or anything else out on the ice? Solution diapers. By the way maybe the DNR should contract for diapers with Pampers for the otter, mink, muskrat, wolves, eagles, seagulls and beaver that also must relieve themselves.

These stories are cracking me up! I dont feel so bad now.

About three winters back four of us were fishing out of the NW angle. Our guide had us in a house south of Garden Island, which is about 22 miles one way from where we were staying.

Two people rode out in the bomber, while my brother in law and my self drove our sleds out.

About two hours into the fishing, I had that "feeling." There were a couple of guys that had flown in on ski planes and were fishing right by us. I had nowhere to take care of my business in private. I hopped on my sled, grabbed some paper, and rode about a half mile to the southwest. I came back and started fishing. 15 minutes later I had the same problem. This time I ran out about 3/4 mile. This process was repeated about four more times. My brother, my wife, and my brother in law were greatly amused. After about my third trip, when I fired my sled up, my brother said, "There goes the gravy train!"

Thank God I had a snomobile that day.

[DARK30]

OH MY! GULLGUIDE...YOU GOT CAUGHT DOIN THE BIG JOB? HA! HA! THATS FUNNY! JUST SITTIN THERE WITH A BIG GRIN I SUPPOSE TOO. NOW THAT WOULD BE A FISH PICTURE!

OK people. Let's figure this one out. If ya gotta go, ya gotta go. So how to complete mom natures process without getting a ticket or making a mad dash to the woods? We all know what we're up against so with this "collective mind", how about we figure this out while the ice is forming.

So let the brainstorming begin......

My wildlife mgmt professor in college possed this question during a clean water discussion... "Where do the fish go to bathroom"

The dog did it!!!

Dark30, it sounds like you might have started a new thread here I know I lock the door on mine when I'm not fishing. I don't want know one to sneak in and steal my beer.

My morning ritual "moved" me to bump this post into today's current topics.

This is indeed a funny thread, some great stories.
So I have a 5 year old son, see, and every time, and I mean, EVERY TIME, I take him ice fishin', or boat fishin', guess what? You got it, "Dad, I gotta go!" I've learned never to go with him without an ice cream bucket, and some kind of clean up material, if you know what I mean. Kids are good for not having any sense of timing whatsoever, aren't they?

Set the Smelly Hook!!
