Well I don't have a boat and I have to be able to prep the site before showing up and I'd rather not be doing most of the prep work after it gets cold. I have been looking for a spot near water for ice fishen but it also needs to be accessible and able to fit a larger crowd.
I have been trying to find a place near water for ice fishing this year but I can't seem to find a spot that is suitable. I have found a pretty neat spot about 1.7 miles up the road from where we normally park that is in a pretty epic pine stand. I was thinking I would head out there early and clear some brush and also get firewood stood and ready. The issue is finding state or fed. land that we can gather wood and such without it being an issue with the DNR and also isn't too much farther of a drive for the people already driving a long way. I will head out there in the next couple days and get some pics of the spot for everyone's approval.
Last year's site was between Pullmyfinger Road (Heffelfinger) and Moose walk trail.
Here's a potential:
Paste these coordinates into Google Maps (satellite view) 47.403935, -91.282126 It appears that there are some righteous stands of pines just south of Moose walk trail...instead of sandwiched in between the road and the Moosewalk snowmobile trail. I'd check it out but it is a 4 hour drive for me.
Parking: I wonder if the Finland Co-op would be willing to let us park several cars around the side of their property...I can guarantee some doughnut sales...
Subscribed to this thread. Wisconsin boys want to attend again, if only for the Saturday egg "McMuffins" and chance to rub shoulders with ole Shug.
Another WI boy here, checking in. If the stars and planets align, and that 4 letter "W" word doesn't get in the way, I'll be there.

I've already been out here and there is quite a few standing deads. Plus I will be going out early to stand some of the the cut wood up so it's available for when we get there. But since everyone seems to be ok with near the same spot. (I know we all love Finland) I say we use it. I will be adding these coordinates to the beginning of the post. It's exactly 1.7 miles up the road from the parking lot on the Right hand side. This gives people the opportunity to drive there cars up a little a closer to unload if they don't have the gear or the capability of lugging there gear that far. (Though the exercise wouldn't hurt yaYou can copy and paste those coordinates in google maps for directions. After seeing this place I know you'll like it. If anyone has anything against this location I will wait two days again before posting it as the final decision. All in favor AYE all opposed nay, you get the idea!
I'm in..... and maybe, just maybe I'll participate in the food sharing this year lol. I guess it was a bit better last year than in the previous years that I had attended.

Hi folks,
I won't be able to attend the FBH this year. I already have something going on during the same weekend. I hope you all have a fun and safe time. Remember to take care of and watch out for one another.
Cheers,

Can't wait C'mon Frozen Butt Hang, January 2016. Might also stay thru Sunday night.
Here is the google maps to the location of this years hang. It's exactly 1.7miles up the road from the parking lot we normally park at, on the right hand side. I will be heading out to the site this weekend with weird Ire to clean up the area a bit and to get some wood prepped. May even make it an over-nighter if anyone else is interested in comen!
