When to do deer processstream (Livestream processing) off hours?

bocephus only time a mortal man can walk on water, albeit frozen ‘hard’ water. I guess it is like water fountain or bubbler, coke or soda,… I just took it for granted. Lakes are making ice these last few days with the drop in temps.
Up here it is about four months of the year

bocephus Always wanted to do it & about the only time I had the opportunity, I suddenly got a work order to head to Oklahoma & missed the boat.

calldoctoday It is definitely quiet out where we go except for the wind and maybe a coyote. Most lakes and ponds we don’t see anyone else. Getting off the ice at dark or low vis can make it a bit of a challenge finding your way back, but it sure can be pretty out there with all the stars shining. If you go out on the big waters, Great Lakes or large bodies of water you need to pay attention to winds because of ice movements, you don’t want to be on the wrong side of the fracture. They will come and get you, but your equipment stays behind.

YooperDog When I lived in MN it was one of the things I always looked forward to, people here in NM don’t believe that you can drive your vehicle right out to your ice house.

bocephus yes some areas up here have ice highways across the lake or bays. Other lakes if the boat landings are plowed open some folks will plow a path if the snow is to deep otherwise they just beat a path down. I am not a big fan of driving on the ice, I have seen a few go down, but I will take an ATV or sled out.

calldoctoday They are calling for most lakes around me at 12 - 20 inches. It will get thicker, I looking forward to the bays along Lake Superior near me to freeze up to get out and get on some bourbot, white fish and lake trout.

I’ve put my diesel truck weighing over 4 ton on a lake here in South central Iowa a couple of times. First time my Gluteus Maximus was ripping the covers off of my seats! LOL

kyle @DennyO if I am on the ice in a vehicle the window is down or the door is open. I just want to be around to explain to my insurance company where they can find it. I know it is done and I have done it in the past, but there is no such thing as safe ice.

YooperDog If my truck breaks through, I won’t be around to explain after going through 24" to better than 36" of ice.

Than sit’n in church and thinking about fish’in! -

@dennyo I need to be because my wife would kill me after sinking the truck. I need to be available for my indiscretions. LOL

After sinking the truck in that thick of ice, I wouldn’t be alive! I could not react quick enough to stay close to the top. Yes I wear an inflatable life vest with enough buoyancy to deal with my wide body , Plus I usually have a floatation suit on.

@dennyo I have a floating outfit and the safety gear to climb out, but it is a long way to anywhere to get help. I have come close a few times on a sled hitting a large spring hole under the snow. It gets your attention as you are sinking faster than you are moving forward.

Never been close! The worst I was on made my Gluteus Maximus grip my 7 gallon bucket when I was in a flimsy hut with the sun shining making the cracks with 6" of ice.
Man O Man was that Erie!!Denny O’s-Smokey Bones

Man O Man was that Erie!!@dennyo At night especially you can hear the ice making going on in the lake. It is pretty cool to hear , a bit erie for sure when you can feel that crack move through the ice.

It is even worse on a moonless night with little to no snow on the completely "BLACK: ice. Those of you that have experienced it, ya know what I’m talking about!
