lovetofish Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Not sure if you guys already got this information, but i just got a response from them a week ago! "Hello Chad Davey: Thank you for your enquiry. At this time, portable ice huts with a base of more than 21.5 square feet with a tent made of cloth or synthetic fabric are required to be registered with the local MNR District. Registration of an ice hut is free. The number assigned is valid for all ice huts owned by the angler and is valid anywhere in Ontario and is not restricted to MNR District or Fisheries Management Zone boundaries. nric web reader - lr ******************************************* Natural Resources Information Centre PO Box 7000 Peterborough, ON K9J 8M5 1-800-667-1940 Fax: 705-755-1677 [email protected] http://themnrstore.mnr.gov.on.ca" lovetofish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyboss Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I got the same response last week in an e-mail from MNR. They should be looking for poachers instead of worrying if my Trap has a reg. number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 and where do you put the numbers mine doesn't have a spot for it so I need to sew or tape a plastic sleeve on it and that kills the warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Do you have a window in the hut with a cover on the inside? Take a piece of plastic like a document protector, permanent pen and put your # on in 3" high letters/numbers and place between the plastic window and inside cover.

Terry Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I keep that window open 90% of the time, but that is where I have be putting it when closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapshooter Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 They should be looking for poachers instead of worrying if my Trap has a reg. number. Exactly. They really missed the mark with this new regulation. I would hope they change the wording for next year to exclude all portable ice huts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallyboss Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 My ol;d fish trap Pro had a sleeve to put put the registration number in it. But I got a new tent for it this year and that sleeve is not there. I put it in my back window but that window is always closed in mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsman Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Exactly. They really missed the mark with this new regulation. I would hope they change the wording for next year to exclude all portable ice huts. What makes you think there will be new regs next year?

Terry Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 see the problem is it was always in the regs. that all huts in zones that have hut register had to be registered then new reg. just made an exception for small portables and put it in the distributed regs .... now my argument is a hut is made to be set up and left in the same location for long periods of time a portable shelter is something that folds down and packs away and is taken off the ice each day I have a portable shelter....that's my story and I am sticking to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
