Now after you guys are done spouting off I guess you didn't understand the post. Try fishing all night with these jerks threatening your equipment,shelters and life! A stationary object cannot harm a sober considerate rider,plain and simple. Why do you think Dave Genz changed the original color for the fish traps from white to blue?Well guess what that didn't work either :%$#!:Now they have reflectors on them for ''targets'' for the drunk snomoslobs. If I'm out there all alone I'm defenseless.People that ''own'' a lake are half drunk ,running 90mph for hunderds of miles and are evenually going to get ''owned''.If the hole was 10 inches and the 2x4 was white it was probably mine.Try fishing at night all the time and see what happens. They( some sleds) are on a drunken mission to destroy shelters and equipment.I started using white 2x4s because I could ID those as my own, rather than unpainted ones or propane tanks. I had to switch to wood because the crude sled guys that ruined my equipment started complain when my ''sled deterants'' did their job.Here's a couple of my quotes, Nov 18, 2003, 11:33 PM Started by Da_Roc, ''Were gettin pretty old to pull the stunts we use to. 4 TO 6 white painted cement blocks 10 to 20 yards out of the tent does the trick ''Jan 13, 2008, 11:03 AM Started by prchslyr, ''I fish mostly at night and always mark my holes with white cement blocks so the sleds don't run in my 10''+ holes. ''now this is what you want to defend??? and someone that shots a flair gun at a sailboat?? i think the danger is people like this.... it's uncalled for and everyone with any common sence knows it trap
i hate it i have a shanty ohh in the middle of no where with a big lake to ride around and they ride less than 10 feet from my door step...c mon i wish there was a way to stop thees jerks.. any ideas???
where in my posts did i say I shot at anyone? and just a bit more info for you.US Coast GuardInland steering and sailing rules rule # 18 responsabilities between vesselsA. a power driven vessel under way shall keep out of the way of: 1. a vessel not under command 2. a vessel limited in her ability to maneuver 3. a vessel engaged in fishing, and 4. a sailing vesselB. a sailing vessel under way shall keep out of the way of: 1. a vessel not under command 2. a vessel limited in her ability to maneuver 3. A VESSEL ENGAGED IN FISHINGC. A VESSEL ENGAGED IN FISHING SHALL TO THE BEST OF THIER ABILITY KEEP OUT OF THE WAY OF: 1. AVESSEL NOT UNDER COMMAND, AND 2. A VESSEL LIMITED IN HER ABILITY TO MANEUVER. Where does it say a sailboat has the right of way to a vessel fishing? and read my posts a little closer, at no time did I condone the action of leaving debris on the ice for the intent of harming a person or machine so I'll repeat it for you again trapper, anyone who leaves obstacles on the ice for the purpose of harming someone should be held accountable just as unsafe riders should. You did'nt do too well in reading comprehension in school did you?
A friend was riding across Canadarago with a group of snowmobilers Fri night and some idiot stuck a piece of 2X4 in a hole to mark it and the guy hit it head on and smashed the front all up on his sled , lucky no one was hurt or even killed! Use some common sense.
Just a few quick questions.... #1 - does anyone really think that a 10" hole would bother a snowmobile? I don't & I ride & fish. #2 - You guys who do mark your holes with 2x4's and concrete blocks, do you ever take them off of the lake or do leave it there so it floats in the spring and becomes a floating hazard for us boaters also? Just wondering .
Seems like it might be about time to stick this whole thread down a hole... And leave it unmarked, so no one else will find it...
Time to put this baby to bed, the horse is dead!
