This one truly warms my heart

Nice to see the laws, enforcement, etc. work as they were
meant to, to protect the sportsman.

Impressive how you handled yourself. Good way to show the shanty the best way to handle these things.

I must give credit where credit is due. Kivva king has taught me to be more patient and less impulsive over the years. Stuff like that is just not worth it. He's a good ice fishing mentor. I coulda popped that guys head off like a dandelion.

Good for you guys

manitron · « **Reply #37 on:** Jan 30, 2011, 09:27 AM »

I also applaud your patience and acknowledge that ,in this society,you did the right thing.Personally, I do not possess such grace under pressure.I am fairly certain that I would have told the guy ,I was going to kick his ass because he assaulted me with his snowblower and I am defending myself. Then I would call the cops and the EPO,whose number is on speed dial thanks to this forum and he can explain why his snowblower is on the ice to them,if he could still talk.

Great story but more important was how you handled the situation. It could have escalated into something bad!! Kudos for keeping your cool!!

highvoltagejigger · « **Reply #43 on:** Jan 31, 2011, 06:50 AM »

Sounds like we should get a gathering together over there!!! glad to see you kept your "Shanty Sense" I would have gone BS if he wrecked one of my Indian Hills, but Mike would have covered it under warranty!!!!

macdaddyjb82 · « **Reply #44 on:** Jan 31, 2011, 06:56 AM »

Geeze. Some people just want everyone else to suffer cuz their lives are miserable. Glad it worked out for you in the end though. Many times, these thing escalate out of control or nothing happens at all. I have a feeling he probably did this before and got away with it. Maybe he'll think twice from now on.

broken tip up $30 bucks broken snowblower $100 bucks getting the jackass busted priceless

Got2fish · « **Reply #47 on:** Jan 31, 2011, 06:17 PM »

glad he had to pay up. Hope your day turned out better then it began. Hope the moron didn't get the thrower fixed yet with all the crap coming tomorrow, that would be awesome redemption.

Jay Fat City · « **Reply #48 on:** Jan 31, 2011, 07:19 PM »

I would have LOVED to see that jackass's face when he got that $500 fine. I would have taken a picture and saved it as the background of my computer.

That guy is over $600 bucks in the hole for harassing you for the high crime and misdemeanor of ICE FISHING WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION!

WOW YOU HIT THE LOTTERY

:clap:the right thing never happens .
You always hear about the bullcrap we deal with as ice fisherman

and few and far between you hear a great one

Thanks for sharing Uncle Buck makes me smile from ear to ear

djb · « **Reply #52 on:** Feb 01, 2011, 01:12 AM »

Good for you for doing the right thing. The Hunter (and fisherman and trapper) Harassment laws are there for a reason. When you know the rules you'll always win. I'm glad to here that this guy got what he deserved.

Unfortunately the snowblower probably suffered only a broken shear pin. $1.75.

Uncle Buck · « **Reply #54 on:** Feb 03, 2011, 10:09 AM »

no not just a pin.... you should have seen in those steal shafts on the polar tip ups can do some damage =)

the guy was a moron either way.

Jaycr3183 · « **Reply #55 on:** Feb 03, 2011, 12:14 PM »

Alotta peopel complain about the Police, but just rememebr to keep a level head and keep your tempers calm and the Police are fine, trust me on this one. I am glad they banged him for the harass ticket to, great read!

bostoned · « **Reply #56 on:** Feb 03, 2011, 01:30 PM »

Hey, the good guys win for once. It really is ridiculous how people think they can lay claim to public property. I hear it all the time during hunting season too how people claim they "Own" a spot of public property b/c they've hunted there in the past.

Good for you for keeping your cool. I would like to think that I could follow your example, but I think the cops would have found two feet sticking up from one of my holes by the time they got there.
