cats in the snow

Smiley, Thanks for the info on the skis. right now the snowshoes are working alright so till i need to ski i'll stick with the snowshoes.

Hillbilly, we went out this morning and i put fifty miles on the pickup without a single track we swapped rigs and went to a different area where we cut two tracks we turned on the freshest one and about a mile up all hell broke loose we think the dogs winded them but anyways we ended up with two kittens and a female up three different trees the kittens wieghed aprx. 50 lbs i'm not exactly sure what happened but the kittens were in a hollow log and dogs jumped them out..???? Would the female have left them in there while she went hunting because we turned on a single track????

hounder, that is usually what the females do. Often I have found where the kittens were left under a log, rock or over hanging bank when the mothers out hunting. The female is usually not to far a way, it seems like less then 1/2 a mile. Congrats on your catch.

Keep roading dogs when no snow is the thing to do. we finally got a couple inches of snow been a couple weeks since last snow but keeping the dogs in shape is a plus. cought a good bobcat today and hounds never missed a beat because of being shape, it will be good tomarrow also.

Hillbilly, what do you have for snow up in your area. We have a little bit in the kootenays, but its hard as heck and we haven't had fresh snow since the 5th of january. its getting a little depressing here

We have about eight inches. Any roads , trails or open ridges are either hard as a side walk or bared right off. No snow in the forcast for the next 5 days at least.
