Was on Lake Oliver tonight in Swift County. Lost my ice auger. Was either stolen out of the back of my pick-up or I set it down to load my 4-wheeler and forgot it. Went back to look for it and its gone. It is a Strikemaster Lazer 224 8" auger. I have called the local Sheriff departments (Swift and Stevens) and the local radio station. If found or have any info please shoot me an email at: [email protected]

Thanks, RED

2 years ago I was fishing N. Center and 2 guys aksed if it was ok to set up next to me. It was pretty windy and they had a portable so I said sure go ahead. I heard them drilling holes with a hand auger and went out and opened a couple holes for them with my old beat up Magnum. I went to bed in the wheel house. Next morning, the 2 guys are gone and so is my auger that I set next to my house. Filled out a report and never heard a word. Still makes me mad everytime I think about it.

Now that's just rude right there minnbowhunter. It's one thing to find one left behind (should still try to find an owner) but to take it right from you. Poeple just suck.

I have been on the ice for more years than I care to remember and have always said that the people that ice fish are the best people in the world. Always friendly, helpful, to the new folks you meet. I still think that way, but now if I see someone who I think looks a little shady (you know the type) I jot down their license #. Just in case. It's sad that I feel that way. Oh yeah the .45 is in the fishhouse with me too.

after the last few years there is a 20 ga in the house at all times now. It something about the sound of pump sliding, that changes peoples mind. It would be nice to know where my TV, rods and tackle is, but we will find that in time.

Although I dispise thieves you can not shoot them and if you do,your the one going to prison and for a long time if one dies.If they live they can sue your pants off.

You need to fear for your life to use deadly force and I doubt a thief is going to try to kill you in your fish house.

You should rethink your response next time.

Should someone break in and you shoot.

Your post is proof enough to show intent to harm without fear of life.

I agree with the idea of the shotgun pump being the universal sign for get the *$&# out, but I do have to agree with crappie keith. I had some run ins with thieves and was lucky enough to get everything back and then some with help from the local police department. In this experience it was explained how much trouble we could have been in if matters would have been taken into our own hands upon retrieving the stolen goods. I am happy that I learned the easy way what could happen in if I acted upon my instincts and not listened to my more level headed friends.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
