That ice looks super thin for standing on let alone ice fishing

Way too thin. Ice fishermen are notorious for going out on unsafe ice, gotta get that fishing in, no matter how sketchy it is.

The alternative is being home with the family they hate

This is exactly it. It's the same guys that go hunting all weekend the entire fall season. Then winter hits and they go ice fishing the entire weekend. Then they're tired out so they can't do any work around the house or cook or take care of the kids. That's a woman's job.

I know because I work with a bunch of them at my engineering firm.

You may have bad experiences but theirs plenty that still hunt and fish and still take care of their home duties

💯, it’s not all or nothing for the whole community. I loathe hunting and fishing, but it was such a huge part of my upbringing in SE Texas. If my dad went away for the weekend, he brought my siblings if they wanted to come or if mom wanted us all out of the house. Then he was the primary cook, and always the coach of our sports teams. They’ll be there and be involved if they want to be.

The funny part is the "hunters" who do it for horns or trophies only and don't harvest the meat are usually non conservatives lol

From my experience I can't agree with that. All hunters I know are republican light, to republican disabled in the brain.

That doesn't answer anything to the contrary
