this happened on a lake 10 miles east of Willmar. According to the info where I seen this the ice was only 8 inches thick. the guy was pulling it out on the lake with a four wheeler and was able to unhook the four wheeler before that went in too. full-29971-51616-10665765_10203389070233

How could someone be that stupid? How?

Use common sense!!!! There's only 8 inches! It's still early! It's not even December! Your bringing a couple thousand pound ice house on 8 inches or less. Use common sense, it's your own fault.

yea what is worse yet is in the second pic you can see another ice castle and four wheeler out on the same lake. some people just push their luck and at times it bites them in the you know what. the good thing is from the report no one was hurt when it happened.

Wow is all i can say!!! Up here in maine i like 10 inches before i haul mine out!! That is after drilling holes all the way out a few days before to check the ice!

But wait, isn't this the same house as the one on another thread that said it was on minnetaga south of Atwater? It looks like the same roof and the same guy with the same jacket in two bottom pictures? confused

Sooner or later the DNR will be telling us when were allowed on the ice.

Posted

thats a good thing. Because if idiots cant use common sense and take action for themselves and think about consequences, and the rescuers and others before stuff happens then its probably a good thing?

Posted

The dnr already has recommended thickness charts. What I feel will happen is the insurance companies will not cover you if you decide to venture out on thinner ice.

Posted

Prob doesn't help that the roof is full of heavy snow!

Posted

The red house was out for a week already.

Posted

Should be able to get a hell of a Black Friday deal on it now ! Lol

How does one ever get something like that out of a lake? Not like it's a wheeler or a small car..does it become a ''reef'' or are there means to get it out and the owner receives a HUGE bill for his stupidity?

Just wondering..

Posted

If I'm not mistaken I think the owner is required to get it out within a certain time period (2 weeks?). If they don't then the state will do it and the owner pays that bill along with fines. I don't know for sure, just something I think I heard some time so I could be incorrect.

Leech where I first seen this was on another site so you could be right about what lake and where it is at. the site I seen it on said it was 10 miles east of Wilmar but they could of been wrong. I also didn't check the Wilmar area forum on here. I just some one posted it there too.

There was 2 houses that broke though today.

Or don't rescue them and Darwinism will weed out the idiots over time.

They are removing it in the picture below. They send a person to the house if still partially above ice or a diver under water if it's submerged. Once the house is hooked up they run the cabe through the pulley on the trip-pod you see next to the house. That cable continues on to a pulley secured to the posts that are put in holes cut in the ice. Then onward to shore where a tow truck or large truck is hooked up to pull the cable. If you look closely you can see the cable laying on the ice as it isn't pulled tight yet. Once they start pulling it's just a matter of walking it up onto the ice and then pulled a safe distance away form the hole. Saw it once in person and no, fortunately it was't my house.

And yes, BobT is right. The clock is running from the time it submerged till you get it removed. If you don't remove it before the deadline they (DNR) will.

And here I'm scared to walk out right now because it's not thick enough for me to feel safe yet....

IT PAYS TO WAIT! let others take them risk first, there are always going to be those idiots.

      My 30 year-old Indy 500 (over 8,000 miles) has been having a mid-range bog for many years now.  It is worse on warm days and when the engine is warmer.  The sled runs fine up to about 1/4 throttle, then runs extremely rich up to 3/4 throttle.  The spark plugs are dark brown (better brown than down?) but not saturated.  8 years ago I moved the clips on the jet needles from the 3rd to the 2nd groove to lean the mixture and it helped for a while.   Should I move the clips to the top groove (temporary solution)? Could the jet needles, needle jets, and/or the main jets be warn and need replacement?   Don't think I will have time to tear the carbs apart this season for a rebuild so I may just band-aid the problem.

      I think that Mike89 picked April 26 two hours before you, jparrucci.  Is that correct Mike89?

      My last hide I gave to my Taxidermist friend to make what ever he liked out of it.   I've got a few fun Bear hunt stories to be told.  All 3 of us our first year stupidly tracking a blood trail in the dark together and getting lost, luckily smelled the bait making circles and got out. 🫣 Flash lights dying, deep in a swamp following a blood trail in the dark, the one who stayed at the bait called us back in!  We learned our second bear! Lol. 😞  Downing a wounded charging bear with the last bullet when tracking, no lie! 😬    Have had my fun!  🥳

      I remember that kegel… stuff….!   just finished my post work latte as a matter of fact!  Only the second case of those I’ve ever bought.     I’d get Mike something better.
    • jparrucci
      I still have hope. Put me down for my dad's birthday in April 26. Come on warm weather.

      🤔 mythical FM beer?????is that kinda like kegel brau!!!!!!!!🤣 or busch lattes!!!!!😄

      application has been submitted. 👍   Leech......i've shot my share of bear......it be nice to get another but not the end of the world if i dont. i get to spend time with my son...its just another way to get into the woods. i've been at it since about 1976......that rush when you walk up to the bait and see the logs scattered all over and bait gone just doesnt get old for me.   i had to get rid of 1 rug because of bad tanning. i have another rug, shoulder mount and made 3 pillows from 2 different bear hides. my biggest issue has become what to do with the hide....that seems more of a trophy then the meat. i inquired 1 year at the Alex decoy show when there were a couple hide guys there and they didnt seem to interested. 🙄 i have no other ideas for the hide.......approval from the wife is not even negotiable!!!!!
    • Mike89
      aw that date is fine and maybe someday we will have beer!!!
    • Wanderer
      Something in May, like around Opener.  Could be white knuckles for boaters that weekend with the way things stalled out since the contest started and how thick it still is.   Highs in the 50’s coming but lows are around freezing and not a lot of wind in the extended forecast.   I’ll tell  ya what, if you change from 4/26 and it hits that date, I’ll buy ya some mythical FM beer.  And you know where you can find it. 😉. But don’t change on my account - this is still a free country!

      I caught the 10pm news the other night. They said that starting next week Minnesota will be above average for temps. I give them a 33% chance of getting that right.
