Hey All,

I just wanted to put an FYI out there for everyone...i went ice fishing on Osakis on Sunday and had a visit from the DNR. He gave me a warning because I had no I.D. present on the outside of my shack. He stated that even though I did not need a permit, I needed to have either my name and address, my drivers license #, or my DNR # posted on the outside of shack. I looked it up when I got home and he was correct. Just thought I would let people know to maybe save them a ticket.

It was slow....caught some perch....and a couple of them were NICE grin.gif! My only other scare was right at dark I was fishing right off the bottom with a swedish pimple. When all of the sudden a flash appears about 3-4 feet off the bottom. I raised my lure up to the flash and WHAM! I set the hook and whatever it was had some weight! then after like two seconds the line went limp. The hook had come out of its mouth. Had to have been either a walleye or northern. It was really fun to feel that kind of weight though!

Same thing happened to me last year. Although I was only using it as a sled and had not yet used the top that morning. He wrote me a warning, then the DNR guy had a black marker and suggested we fix the problem on the spot by writing my DL number on the side.

But even though I could augue I was using it as sled as opposed to a shelter, I figured against it since he was being so cool about it. It's really nice that they are being cool about an oversight by otherwise honest anglers.

Then he asked me if those were my tip-ups. I was confused, my tip-up was ten yards in front of me. He pointed to a bay on the South end of the lake and I looked as hard as I could. After a short while I spotted 3 or 4 unattended tip-ups in the distance.

So not only a nice guy, but with eyes like a hawk!

I know I've seen this some place, but does anyone know off the top of their head what the standards (hieght/thickness of letters/numbers) are for the ID on the house? I have a big marker just waiting to be used, and I might as well get it out of the way.

- All shelters (including dark houses, fish houses and portable shelters) placed on the

ice of Minnesota waters must have either the complete name and address, driver’s

license number, or the nine-digit Minnesota DNR number on the license of

the owner plainly and legibly displayed on the outside in letters, and figures at least

two inches in height.

I use my DNR number, don't want my address on the house so someone can scope me out and check my garage, don't use my DL number due to ID theft. Don't even put it on my checks anymore. Too many people like this information for other than lawful reasons. And yes 2" is the letter height no matter what info you post on the house. Bill

I just made mine on Microsoft Word. Switched it over to landscape view and made the font as big as I could while keeping it one line. Came out right at two inches( I have a hard time seeing them actually measure unless your an a** to them). Folded the paper in half and laminated with strips of clear tape. Very cheap and does the job. Not as sloppy as the permanent marker too! smile.gif

I haven't put my info on my portable yet for the exact reasons you posted.

How does someone go about getting a DNR#?

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
