And you don't think they do that already??

I am all for it, the bad have always done it and always will. It's about time the rest of us who follow the rules get a break and are allowed to have a meal while on the ice.

With today's modern shacks entire vacations are spent on the ice, days maybe a week at a time. Not being able to have the days catch as a meal was a ridiculous law. The abusers don't care if there is a law or not.

i didn't feel it was that big of a deal to license my portable for $12 a year...figured it went back into the DNR anyways.....but now they will lose 100K off an already tight budget.......then the license thing is just dumb...it is good for 1 years time.....I guess people should buy there license in March and then they will get there 12 months just like I do.. tongue.gif If they really want to make it easier for people to remember when to buy a license then have the renewal dates start on 1/1 or leave it the way it is!!!

I didn't really mind having to buy a shelter liscense. I figure if you can afford the shelter,auger, rods , reels, tackle, bait, heater, and whatever other luxuries you bring with you then you can afford the $12/year.

All this does is take money away from the DNR, that extra money along with the raises in non-resident liscenses could hire a few more DNR officers to enforce the laws and take down more good for nothing low-life poachers.

THAT RICH? How much do you spend in bait on one trip? On food/drink for one trip? $12 for 4+ months was a deal to me, I guess. C'mon. And yes, I do make a donation to the DNR (Loon plate) and still have no problem with a portable shelter tag. I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I hope they jack up another in-state rate to compensate, and not just hit up the out-of-staters alone.

12$ would buy me a new tip up or enough jigs to last me a winter, and it is more the premise than the money. a fee (tax) to put my shelter on a public lake for a few hours, or even worse a lake i may own, obserd. That is why we were the only state to do it. And why not hit the out of state people, do they pay taxes in Minnesota? last time i checked they didn't, an increase fee to use our public funded facilities seems very fair, if they don't like it thay can stay in Iowa and save a few bullheads for me. grin.gif

I was just giving you the needle.

I disagree; however, that the burden of replacing the lost revenue should be passed on to out of staters. I have friends who come to MN every year for both deer hunting and ice fishing and these boys spend a lot of money when they come. They eat in local bars and restaurants, buy bait and hunting supplies at local stores and bait shops, they even use a MN butcher and taxidermist. On top of that they are spending twice as much as me on a fishing lic and about five times as much on a hunting lic… I fail to see why they should be paying even more.

I am just glad I dont need to put them on my house anymore, I still have the one from last season in my billfold, and this years confused.gif. Could they make them things any cheesier? The $12 didnt bother me much, just the fact that I needed to babysit the sticker to make sure it didnt fall off yet!

Bummer deal we had to buy the 2007 license to fish this last March! mad.gif

I too am torn about the whole idea of doing away with the shelter license fee. When I read that they are doing without the license for those truely using "portable houses", to off set the lose of money they raised the out of state fees. However they are short plenty of money.

I shouldn't complain since the law is saving you and me $12.00. But when the DNR starts getting less revenue and you hear about water quality issues, overharvest concerns, etc. When their dollars get pinched, we (Outdoorsman's)could suffer the consquences.

I too, worry that the drop in revenue could possibly hurt other programs. But, one can still buy the tag if they so choose. It doesnt bother me if they charge the non-residents a little more as that is what I have been doing for the last 10 years in other states.

It doesnt matter where I go fishing or hunting in other states, the rules have changed and the non-resident pays more. One can look at Montana and see what a resident and non-resident is paying for a Elk license. Hundreds of dollars in difference for fees.

When I hunt in North Dakota for deer, I pay 220 for a tag and I believe the residents are at 22. I know one doesnt want to much of this going on but the other states started this game and we in Minnesota might as well reap some benifit once in awhile.

why not do both? raise the outta staters rates and keep the portable fee? it's still cheaper than a boat liscense isn't it? i am a born and raised iowan. when i moved to mn and had to pay $30 for a liscense, i was like sure. when i became a minnesotan and had to pay $80 for an iowa hunting license i was like 'whoa'. but was i gonna not shoot pheasants, i don't think so. i'm sure you could go with $45-$50 for a year round out of state license. i know i would pay it. after all, minnesota is still regaurded as one of the best fishing states in the country. trust me as an out of stater when i say i'll pay what i have to to. cool.gif

Being that a portables only purpose is to keep the wind/elements off you and keep you warm, where do I buy a license for my boots, glove, bibs, and hat?

    • 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.
