Amazing! We had another ice storm just last week. Anxious to hang the new trail camera before the animals started moving in ernest, I strapped on a pair of "ice walkers, " grabbed an old walking stick and followed the snow mobile trails up to a point where tracks of deer, coyote and fox crossed. I followed the animal tracks for a bit, then veered off deeper into the woods. The snow was quite deep.
This is the time of year the Cougar passed through our area of the Country in past years. Some day there will be an image of him on my camera, and that will be the last day I hike alone. :-)
