  1. Seriously! Question! What liability do the resorts have in this and what liability to the people themselves? I ask because, for a few reasons. Legally, can the government/town/county charge these people for the cost of rescue? I say this because, we ALL know that the winter of 2022 has had crap weather, crap ice on the lakes. So, who should take responsibility for the rescues? I feel so bad for those who have lost life's and loved ones. All for the love of ice fishing…………… Please, do not let your loved ones come here to ice fish……………. We have NO safe ice, and if anyone tells you otherwise, they are lying.

  2. I live in MN and they have been saying for weeks to stay the hell off the ice…it isn’t safe!! I guess some idiots never learn. I feel sorry for first responders who have to go save the morons. They should leave them out there and weed out a few!!
