Serious question How often were you busting ice to get to your holes back then versus the last decade? As far as this year goes it’s very warm and very dry. And we still have almost 30 days of it left

Good question.

I’ve had my share of hunts where I’ve busted ice, but yes, that was more of a pre 2000 event.

What has happened more often is this. Most of my hunting has been in blinds.

During the 1990s there were many days we’d either light a small charcoal pit or even light a small fish cooker to warm up the blind.

Also, i have thinsulate liners in my waders that i take out and keep out most of the season.
