I haven’t yet and it’s looking like we’ll be up at the same time. Should be fine, but good idea to have the saw handy. Let me know if you need any help getting in and let’s do a little fishing if it works out.

there’s a fella on another forum i know that lives between rapids and Marcell.. said small vehicles and wheelers driving all over the lakes yet and hadnt notices any detriation yet on the shorelines!!!!

Hey maybe I should run… naw… I’d have everyone pi$$ed off within 2 weeks of campaigning!

Yea that house out there looks scary.

I did notice the creek going into Schneider was starting to open up. I was kinda surprised the 3 places i crossed the river wasn’t open, but looked darn close.

I took 26 lbs of trimmings in and told them I wanted 1/2 in hot dogs and half in there breakfast sausage only left bulk, not in casings. The bill was $144.20. And I did the wrapping.
For .95 per lbs wrapping I’ll do it myself.

I didn’t weigh the end product however, so price per lbs is have no idea. It’s the only hot dogs I’ll eat is from there

Future grub. just got my venison hot dogs from plantenbergs in Richmond. 187 of them.

there was 1 castle type house out onthe south end of long…….i wouldnt want it to be mine…… it looked a little off level and that ice is starting to look dark.

Turned this old Mora hand auger into something more efficient, painted it black and cut out an old truck mud flap for help, the extension got machined out at work with the bit for the drill. Works great,currently using a 996 dewalt, I’ve noticed the shaver blades are taking a hit tho. Sooo thinking on something with chipper blades, just not sure if any replaceables fit a 50 yr old set up. Anywho had my sites set on a k-drill, A fella at work said good luck, they suck on thick ice..?

spend some of that moldy money of yours and just buy a whole new setup!!!!!!

I could use some advice on the deer protection. I’ve probably wasted over $500 on trees that deer have destroyed. Kinda gave up. But… we had to take down several large oaks near the house recently so this spring I HAVE to plant some trees. Thinking a mix of maple and pine.

i like pines in my yard…great cover for the birds i feed……but me…….i’d avoid the long needles at all cost……..they are messy!!!!!!

^^^^^ i dont disagree…i haven’t had my vehicles on a lake in i bet 5 years….mainly cause i fish smaller lakes up north and use an ATV or snowmobile!!! and it might just be the cabin is on a lake, just down the hill!!!

if my memory serves me correctly i thin the issue on leech wasnt deteriorated ice but a huge ice heave!

not necessarily ice thicknesses, but i’ve seen some reports from leech and winnie accesses are getting to be tricky.

ice thickness isnt an issue at the moment……the landings will be!!!!!

chief potato head!!!!
