After this past Saturday, I decided to break down and purchase a "real" ice shelter and stop getting by with my groundblind. My brother and I were on a local lake and nearly froze our keesters off (with the heater running), trying to get in some ice fishing. He did catch a nice 14" rainbow trout, but we paid dearly for it.
I went to Cabelas, but the shelves were bare. :smiley_depressive: There was 1 $650 ice shelter and a few "starter kits" for $500 sitting there in a bare spot where the others had been set up.
However, in the Bargan Cave I found a Cabelas Ice Team 6x6 hub-style shelter for $149, that they marked down to $135. I used my $50 gift card from the fat man in the red suit, got a 15% discount and used up an old gift card that had $17 on it...and ended up paying $54 for this shelter. :smiley_clap:
I'm going out this evening to set it up and try it out...can't wait. This is going to be the longest 8 hour work day of my life. :smiley_boos: I'll have to post some pics later.
Good hunting, Bowhunter57
