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.

pretty hill billy but i can fit 5 dogs and the ol 800 pulls it like its nothin ha ha came from a hill climb finatic just re jetted it and put the stock pipe on to be quiet
oh and had a nice seat dogs didn't like it i guess ha ha woops now it will be a hillbilly chrome seat ha ha

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

i got mine from the dump ha ha it was like a kids sled to tow behind somethin ripped it off and built that hill billy thing

justjared,
You put up any cats this so called winter yet? The way things are going might just stick to foot,truck,and horse travel this winter if the white stuff won't fly. Haha

i haven't put nothin up yet got a real good race goin kinda on accident but i have been hikin like crazy im tryin to get my plott dog good and fired up to help my blue tick out but cant catch nothin in a trap so he is learnin the hard way by runnin but i haven't treed im startin to think that blue pup of mine is backtrackin stuff but im headed up this weekend to press my luck maybe be able to see a track to see what my fog is doin how bout you you put anything up

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.........
