Small acre pond had 2.5" of clear ice on it this morning.. Walked on the edges but didnt want to test my luck.. Earliest ice i can remember seeing gets me excited for first ice. Wont be long fellas!! Oh and my new dog loves the ice, always a plus!
I'm not a fan of dogs on the ice when ice fishing especially males. My buddy brought his male dog "Hector" out last year and he decided to use my pack basket to mark his territory. Hector and I are no longer friends.
Did Hector have a boot sticking out of it's hind quarters?
I had a lab that lifted his leg on the game warden while he was checking our licensees....soaked his Johnson wools from the knee down until my cousin noticed what was going on
