1. Ice fisherman drill holes in the ice to fish. There are no holes anywhere in this picture.

3. There's a banner frozen in the ice. The banner reads BAUER. Bauer is a hockey company: http://www.bauer.com/player/index

If you look at their website you'll see that their logo is the banner in the picture. This debris was left by a hockey gathering, not ice fisherman! It's unfortunate how quickly you guys jumped on board the bandwagon to blame fisherman.
I think one ice fisherman was being blamed, not all. I think if this happened right after the hockey tournament, we would of seen pictures before now about us all complaining how the hockey tournament crowd left the ice. Yes, that is a Bauer sign in the ice, could of been on the side of their hut, or maybe they were trying to burn that too. There is also a white bucket there that plaster usually comes in....maybe it was a drywaller
