For those of you that are running cats in the snow just curious what sleds are you hauling your hounds around with? Lets see your set up.

Mine is similar to that one only I jacked up the frame some as to give me some clearance. The frame is built out of iron, but my box is aluminum. Pulls great, I have a spring in the hitch as to be able to get the snowmobile moving a little before the sled actually starts to drag.....only a couple inches, but it sure helps I tell ya. I can fit 5 small dogs or 4 large ones. Box is 24" high- 24" deep- and 48" long

justjared,

So have you been chasing the bobcats or lions, cause catching those bobcats with a pup is pretty tough business. I went out the other morning after the day old snow was about gone and saw a young guy walking his dog down a bobcat track on a leash. It looked like his wife was sitting in the truck.

The canyon floor had snow but all the side hills were bared off, which is where those bobcats are gonna go. I thought man, that kid is just starting out and probably doesn't know all the work that lays ahead of him. In hindsight, I wish I'd stopped and ask him if he wanted me to dump a couple veteran hounds on the track and see if his dog would join in.....but I just didn't think about it until later on.......

Good luck and hang in there for the duration.........
