Both the shacks I mentioned before had the names of the owners removed as well as any thing of value before they were abandoned . We have to pay a fee to dump construction materials at our transfer station. I dont want to be the one to pay for another mess - I will help the owner clean it up -no questions asked .. I posted here a month ago asking for help in finding the owner of the 8x8 red Shack with one window @ perch point on Mousam lake -hundreds of members looked at the post but no one responded with the owners name. I am one of a few year round residents near the point and when the summer folks come back I get the static for everything from dead skunks to poor roads !! I dont need another Ice shack horror story . People wonder why we loose lake access???
We don't need to pay anymore fees! They have our names and adresses now. If they do there jobs, the slobs will get a ticket.
Although nobody wants to pay more fees, let's be honest here, there is a slob mentality that is far more prevalent in the winter than with boat owners. You know the guys, they build this chitbox shack, put it out on the lake, don't block it up, don't tie it off, don't tend it all season. They might go as so far to write their name in sharpie marker on a piece of duct tape or not put it on at all. At the end of the season, if it looks like too much work to get it off, (you know, like 15 minutes or a six pack, whichever comes first) they rip off the piece duct tape and call it good. If we are "lucky", they might even chainsaw the walls off and take them. Can't remember the last time I saw a boat owner let his boat freeze in as winter approached....
How's this for a solution? Any shack left on the ice after March 31 will be considered abandoned property. Any person may obtain a permit from IFW to salvage any property abandoned on the ice. In simpler terms, remove it or lose it.
Seen two destroyed on plmouth pond trying to get them off the pond! One made it to shore in pieces, one looks like it may burn where it sets!
Responsibly isn't there anymore. Just look at our fool of a president. He did a victory lap around the Rose Garden because he force 7.1 million to sign up for health care or else get fined, but in the meantime 6 million loss their health care because of the law. I pity the fool who voted for that socialist.
I wouldn’t mind a registration fee, on the face of it. BUT is this a solution looking for a problem (like voter fraud legislation for literally 4 or five actual cases)?
what does it cost the state "or us" to have a abandoned shack removed?thats what the shack registration fee should be.just my .02.lls
Well by law here you need name and adress on your shack! Isn't that info enough??
It should be but I've heard of people (in the past) .....put false names and addresses on shacks (just in case it falls through)
