WOW" Are we lazy or what"?

yeah in one picture you can see a few homes in the background. Any chance they might fish or would have been on the lake?

I would call the co asap

I am the CO. All shelters must have owner identification just like in MN. But as I've been stating ad nauseum up here, there is no way, NO WAY to catch these guys unless we are there to witness the offence. There is no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the owner of the shelter is the one who left the mess unless that person is observed leaving the mess by us or by a truly responsible and concerned citizen.

Yhat is too bad...but understandable. I could take the best part of your shack off, giving me a good start to a new one and leave the mess behind. Not that I would, because that would put me in with the lazy ones. Or I could have been mad at you for putting a shack over my favorite spot and burn it down. No evidence of either happening and the owner would be to blame.

Maybe ice houses need to be registered similar to the old deer hunting licenses. Which zone will you be "icefishing"?

We could also have a notification system, where a permanent icefisherman could call in their id, say the lake they are on, and estimated days or months the icehouse will be on the lake. They when they pick it up, they would have to call in.

This idea might be very bad, but there must be better ways to police these houses.

The same type of people that show a total disregard for the environment will most always have a total disregard for the fishing regulations. Might be worth it to keep a close eye on them year around.

wow I am glad I can be the common enemy . I love it... Never mind the fact I don't litter, but hey, if it gets you all worked up and you must check this site every few minutes, then great!!!! I will be that guy, I would love to be that guy. But wait? You can't make a joke on the fishing minnesota site! We are too busy having fun and discussing fun topics like wow are we lazy or what?

I will take those old tires, for building paintball bunkers... However, please make sure you bring that sweet dog picture too. Love that! So outdoorman

Maybe we can get some more angry faces.... One must mean sort of angry 2 = really worked up I can't imagine typing 3, just much angry for one post to have.

The only thing sad I found on this post was 1078 posts since 1/07

We were on vacation last year and I bought my kids some swim masks. It was amazing (and S%!^^y) to see all the trash buried in the weeds especially the broken beer bottles. Sucks that there are people with that mentality.
