Default Might Want to be Careful on Pigeon

Might Want to be Careful on Pigeon.

There were a number of unmarked netting holes just south of Silver Beach Point. Probably 6 holes measuring about 4.5 ft by 3 ft. If they feeze over just a bit with a skiff of snow you would never know until it's to late.

Did not have anything with us to mark them with. Did call F&W and let them know the location and suggested they might want to mark them.

That might hurt just a bit lol. Those open holes are probably not going to freeze over anytime soon.

Thanks for the heads up... I thought only white men made holes that big in the ice, haha. Anways when I was in Idaho they have a law that it is illegal to make a hole larger than ten inches in the ice. Would be nice if they had that here... I'd like to see a jigger go down one ten inch hole and retrieve it with one. Oh well that will never happen.

If you knew who cut the holes that is the way the law seems to read. But almost impossible to prove who cut them.

When we had our commercial license years ago, you had to have your license # on the tie stake. The CO's mapped them out, if a hole was left open, they had a good idea whose it was

Thanks for the heads up OP. Holes cut out like that and left unmarked are very dangerous.
