MNR blitz in Haliburton County

[Bluebulldog]

?!?!?! Someone needs to get laid......

...Someone needs to be educated on the finer points of the law.

The days of having a few and then getting out on the sled, or taking them out on the sled with you are over pal. And I don't often openly insult people on here, but anyone who thinks that's ok behavior is an idiot.

...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.

I grew up in the days where that was the activity in cottage country. Then again a few things have changed. 1. There are way more people going up to their cottages in the winter, ergo more people on the lake etc. 2. Sleds are way more powerful than back then...heck, back then the king on the trails was the 440, and most of us were driving 340s, or 377s. 3. Back then, a few drinks, and being on a sled didn't have the crushing penalties that it comes with now.

The stock machines are already capable of over 100mph but OFSC trails have a speed limit of half that, with most accidents blamed on excess speed. The only place that they can legally drive wide open is on the lakes with the fishermen and their families wandering about. Boats have a maximum speed limit when close to shore, maybe sleds need one as well.

Trouble is, there still are people out there that figure they're in the back country, so they can monkey with the rules. These are the same kind of people who take beer out on the sleds with them.

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?

The majority of people that drink on the ice do not poach, tell me whatever you want that's a fact!

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.
