Yes, starting around Halloween someone is usually checking every day. I caught the first one this year in this village. https://www.youtube.com/user/yukonjeffimagery/videos?disable_polymer=1

I heard that you take the smallest guy in the village, put some swim goggles on him and periodically shove him down a hole in the ice to have a look around. No? Pete

We used to put 100 chum just for trapping bait and burbot bait but those days are gone. Kids would get up every morning and check the rabbit snares and burbot lines before they did their homeschool, sometimes they'd find a few grouse as well. Dog faced pony soldier and proud of it!
