Snowmobile or ATV with Tracks

[Machias]

For lion hunting with dogs or running a trapline in the mountains in winter, what is your favorite mode of travel?  Snowmobile or ATV with Tracks and please give me your thoughts on why?  A UTV with tracks is out of the possibility for me.  Thanks for any thoughts.

I used to own snowmobiles, which were pretty darn dependable if I kept up on maintenance.

I have zero experience with tracks ATVs.........   but it seems like I've heard lots of horror stories.
 
I'd be hesitant to convert an ATV to tracks unless I could see some good data that said I wasn't buying myself a huge headache.   

(But dang, tracked ATVs look AMAZING.)

Late winter early spring, atv with tracks will get you across those south faces that have melted off much better then the snowmobile

So your recommendation is to buy both?
