...then again....have at it.....either the police, or Darwin will look after things.
Bluebulldog, we sold our machines becuase of that, seemed we would stop at this cottage ( a few drinks, stop at another , a few more, ) became a weekend occurance and became pretty obvious that someday you'll lose your license, so machines were sold, sold for a few other reasons as well, it became a very expensive sport for a few years , with the lack of snow , think the one year we put 2 tanks of gas through them.Quote:

Back then, a few drinks, and being on a sled didn't have the crushing penalties that it comes with now.Quote:

Boats have a maximum speed limit when close to shore, maybe sleds need one as well.
And how do you call someone that put poachers and people who drink beers on the ice or on a sled in the same bag? An idiot? Someone angry at life and close minded?Quote:

I have NO problem with those that take a beer with them while out fishing, as long as they can still blow well under the legal limit. Those who can't deserve to be punished for spoiling things for the rest of us. They are the ones who keep our liquor laws as draconian as they are.
