I've always been jealous of the guys that have a nice relaxing ride out to their honey hole with their hut , auger, tools of the trade and of course lunch and beverages in tow behind their 4 wheeler or snowmobile. I've trucked it out on lake Erie many times for the 2-3 mile drag and everytime I say" this is the last @$%#ing time i'm doing this. This goes for other lakes as well. When there isn't alot of snow and it's a two finger drag it's not a problem. It's when the snow is over 6in. deep and you gotta stop every 50 yrds. to catch your breath for 10 min.(lol). Now that i finally got that wheeler i've been wanting i can't wait to get it on the ice and have that nice easy drag i've been wanting. Not to mention ; the easy drag my fishing buddies have been wanting too!! Anyway, now that i have it ,i'm weary of putting it on the ice unless i know other machines have already been on the ice i'm going to venture out on.I have seen the chart that states 3in. for one person, 4in. for two people, 5in. for atv etc... , but what is really safe ice for a wheeler. I know by rule that no ice is safe ice but i'm just trying to get some other perspective's on this because like i said, i like the idea of that easy drag out and especially that easy drag in after a long day on the ice but i also want to play it safe. Thanks, Utes
