Using someone's ice shack they left on the lake??

Whiteysonly · #1 02-01-2013, 07:42 PM

Ok so a guy at work says, " You don't need to buy an ice shack, just use one left on the lake". He says just use with respect. So my question how would you guys feel if someone used your shanty on the lake? For the record I don't plan on doing this.

You'll get a beatn if i catch ya,,,,

What a BS attitude

What happened to respect these days....if it aint yours...dont touch it

Pass this on to ur aquaintance...I'm pretty sure he aint ur close friend I assume

BeeGuy · #3 02-01-2013, 07:47 PM

I dont see any problem in that.

The issue is the guys that dont use with respect

By you sayin "you'll" I assume you meant people in general not me, but as I said a "guy from work" not my friend

The issue is using someone's property without permission. If a guy has a note saying "Open to general public, use with respect" Cool. If not and you don't know who's it is...leave it alone. If not out of respect for your own safety. I know some individuals would be very inhospitable if they showed up on the ice for an afternoon of fishing and found someone was set up in their shack!! Regardless if its right, wrong, lawful, or what ever.....its just plain stupid to chance that. Sorry Bee....gotta disagree with you on this one.

hal53 · #10 02-01-2013, 07:56 PM

Thee BEE has been here since May 2011 for one reason only, and he's done it again. It is getting a little old...so I will respond no more....

BeeGuy · #11 02-01-2013, 07:58 PM

I was thinking more from a perspective of finding someone in my shack, not making use of one myself.

If they were using it respectfully, cool.

If not, they better share their rum.

I was under the impression the only permanent shacks on spray were for the guides.

How's the fishin? Anything of size?

338Bluff · #13 02-01-2013, 08:01 PM

OOOHHHH. I can feel the love

When I was a kid nobody locked their shacks at Parkland. We pretty much fished where we wanted to. When the owner showed up we would vacate after a BS session and do something else. Bonus for the owner is we usually had the stove stoked and the hole cleared.

Helped that everyone pretty much knew or knew of everybody else.

Again, obviously what I was thinking was not conveyed well.

I dont think anyone should be messin around without an invite. I just personally wouldnt mind if I found someone using my stuff respectfully.

Ever hike into a back country or remote lake and find a canoe on shore?

You know, it wasn't mine, but I still took it for a spin.

One time we found one at the end of the White Sail FSR beside this little lake, had a 2x2 and some plywood for a paddle. Next time in we left a new paddle.

Although I understand where you guys are coming from, there are places in this country where not everyone is going to steal your gear or trash your stuff.

Mntgiant, I am surprised that most people would lock their shack.

bwackwabbit · #16 02-01-2013, 08:13 PM

I have one, its unlocked and anyone in need is free to use it but again w/respect (leave it as you found it).

Similar to this site, community can be a great and powerful thing. I go by do unto others right up until I'm given reason not to. If a "shanty town" is a community like this we each watch out for the other's shack and police violators as need be. I have had no problems w/mine to date.

Cheers.

Never had a problem catching trout there. Just got tired of seeing the same bug eating 10-17"ers.

Seems like anything respectable is less than 1% of the population.

Woops,

derailment over.

Dear Alberta,

If you happen to find my "shack" all you need to do is hike in your own 14x8' tarp and you are welcome to use it respectfully.

BGSH · #21 02-01-2013, 08:25 PM

I also don't see a problem with it as well, if i see one on a local lake ima use it with respect as well, take garbage, clean up after yourself etc.. also take some photos and leave them in the shake on how we make out, cheers.

Thats pretty cool mr bee.....I wish I could share the same sentiment in modern times....sadly I dont....but i did when i was younger and not so society wise as i am now....i kinda miss the ole days when you could say hi to someone and they said hi back....not a dirty look back

btw....nice you done good on dat lake....fishn iz awesome....still bringz out da kid in me

Donkey Oatey · #23 02-01-2013, 08:34 PM

What ever happened to if it ain't yours or you don't know the owner leave it the ****** alone?

diamond k · #24 02-01-2013, 08:44 PM

so you can not make a hunting cabin on crown land but you put a shack on a lake and call it private property. Can i drill a hole right beside your cabin or do i get a beating for that? leave my truck idiling beside your door, does that get a beating.

I say you put a shack on the ice on a public lake it should be available for public use. That being said it should be treated with respect.

Interesting point my friend....never thought of it that way...but

its still...if it aint urs...dont touch

mtn shack are different imo....seen and bin to many....there is usually a log book inside for guests.

Mtn shacks are more permanent...ice shacks are short term and usually private

This thread does bring up some points of interest I hadnt thought about

Although leaving your car parked on the side of the road on public property does that mean i can drive it around if i treat it with respect? or a bike parked in front of the store can i do some tricks up and down the block then return it back to you, but i get what you mean, yes on a lake if a house is on the lake in winter on public ice anyone should be able to use it if you don't abuse it.

In northern parts of this country if you lock your cabin and someone's skiddo/boat/truck broke down and your door is locked... its getting bashed in. the best you can hope is they respect what is there. If someone was in my shack (its just a tent) i'd greet them friendly and take it from there. people have survival issues now and a again.

liar · #28 02-01-2013, 08:54 PM

so...... if you are walking along the dock and you see a boat with no one in it you can just jump in and use it ?
i mean , why would any one buy a boat , there are always lots at the lake .

BeeGuy · #29 02-01-2013, 08:55 PM

I find it interesting that some guys are ready to rage given the OP's example of using someone's shack with utmost respect.

It reminds me of Texas.

Y'all step across ma praperty line, I shoot to kill.
