I love the pictures.
The top of the snow was a 2" hard pack with five feet of dry powder underneath. I had to lean forward & back to widen the hole in the snow, I had jumped into. I was alone after midnight when it happen. I only had moonlight to see what I was doing. I did pray for help.
Yikes - sounds like a news story - except it would only have been on the news because it ended with very different results.
Hopefully a good lesson a lot of people around you learned from.

Zero pounds. Get some better than stock tires and you'll feel like you're on a Snow Cat.

A sort of primal fear awakens from the deep recesses in the back of the brain moving quickly up front and center when stranded out in the woods by yourself, at least it certainly did for me :cautious:
All you gotta remember is that stuff like owls, rabbits, deer, porcupines, wild hogs make noises like someone being murdered, as does coyotes, cougars, black bear etc when they're feeling weird or murdering something. If there's actual P2P murdering going on, they probably trying to do it quietly, so listen for soft guggleguggle of throats being cut. Hope that sets you at your ease.

I was going to start with 200lbs but I was wondering what you guys were going to be using?
Put 70 lbs on each side to hold rear end when going around Connors. Without it the rear end is to light when empty. Even with snow tires.

The first time I got a rabbit with a .22 I vividly learned the screams they can let out do not make sense.

Some victims of my sweet kitty cat have gotten their last screams out.

Probably a good thing--that's when the brain eating zombies find yoU!
