GrizzlyGriff Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 A couple of days ago a guy takes his new sled out to check it out. Went through the ice in Chemong. Buddies pulled him out and the OPP charged him. Didn’t say with what. My vote is “being stupid”. Can you charge for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't name the person(s) charged or what the charges are. Are they afraid of hurting the moron's feelings? Or maybe his kids would be bullied @ school the next day cause their 'father' has the IQ of a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfish Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 It would be an environmental charge, for dropping the sled into the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cheap to have it retrieved which you must do because of the environmental impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the ministry had the authority to levy those type of charges. Perhaps opp do so after the MOE determined an environmental impact took place.

pt3189 Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 My understanding of the incident is that it occurred at approximately 10 pm. So the genius had that going for him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ox Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Are these lakes that they are going through on - just glare ice? Doo you know? I've made first tracks accrost several bush lakes over the years, and a slushy lake will scare you long before you will fall through.

pt3189 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I am on Belmont Lake , about 50 kms East of Chemong. it is glare ice, about 4 inches in my bay . Drilled my own hole in about 3 feet of water. There were two ice fisherman 1/4 mile from shore las t Tuesday. walking with sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 If you don't know don't go. I have been on Georgian Bay and where the sled was the ice was a couple of feet thick. About 10 ft. to the side was open water thanks to current. Then the comments I have heard that I just shake my head over. Someone is sitting at the edge of the lake and they see tracks across the ice. Their comment... look, there's tracks it must be safe. They haven't any idea if whoever left the tracks was on a 400 lb. sled, weighed 150 lbs. and ran across the lake at 100 kph. or was it someone like themselves a 600 lb. sled with a 240 lb. rider at 60 kph. They set out and get unpleasantly surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
