Watching a ice fishing show with Marcus Quam in South Dakota. He has a Sno-Bear he drives around in. Seems like the ideal thing if you’re guiding or live on a lake. He has more screens in there than some sports bars.
Not my cup-o-tea but I can see where clients would like it.
I just watched that too. Sure would be fun to have one, but I couldn’t justify it.

i think Kim and Rick out of highbanks had one for a season or 2 but got rid of it.
never seen one up close.
Good friend had one in South dakota for a couple years bur sold it 3 years ago couldn’t afford the insurance on it anymore.

Only about a $100k rig…definitely sweet though.
They’re are tons of them around that waubay area . Cool toys but quite the price tag.
There are some 2018 used ones for sale in Devils Lake for only $70k!!
They are all over on that lake. Pretty cool rigs. Seen some that have their own $40k enclosed trailer to haul home too!
Too many moving parts in that rig for me. A lot of maintenance beyond my abilities. Simpler is better in my world.
But for a guide just driving out dropping it down has to be easier than dragging houses around, not to mention just hitting a button to raise it and go.
100k is alot of money but theres lots of big buck boats around also.
Yeah they are pretty dang slick. Saw a few on low over the years. They are no speed demon that is for sure. Setup was quick for sure.

Didn’t I read somewhere you are suppose to drive slow on the ice? I don’t recall the reason but think I read that. Maybe not. 
Well yes you should but I think you can walk faster than these things LOL
Not much for plowed roads on the ice in the Dakotas. Hard to run a ice guiding business when you are not sure if you can get out or back due to a bit of snow or wind. And having fishing success is greatly increased when you can fish good areas that the average Joe can’t get to.
