Thanks for the added info rbsask. Keep after them it will happen eventually. Good luck!
I had a couple hours this afternoon so I returned to house number 3 and added two more snare poles. I checked the one I set last night and it's untouched.
On the other side of the line I drew in the snow I can put my spud through the ice in one shot.
I've started wearing my floater coat while I'm checking around the house at least until I've figured out some safe pathways. Some of these places are more than deep enough to drown.
The three snare pole locations. I think I missed the run on the location outside the feed bed. There was still five feet of water or so, I set a two snare pole here.
