Did better than I did.  I didnt even take the camera out of the backpack.   Coons, coyotes and cats were on patrol last night.  It would have been a good night to be hunting.  I left at 2 to try to do some shedding up north.  BIG mistake.  5 feet of snow on up.  The road had about a foot of powder over ice.  I made it to a spot where the grader had knocked a hole to park.  I found a tree I could get a come along to and made four runs at it.  Finally got off the road.  I took the sled.  I got out on the road and was ok as it was drifted so it rode good.  There.  Typical snowmobile, mechanical issues.  I think its wore enough that its skipping on the track. Its an old machine, butsmall and very light.  Much easier to dig out of the snowbank than the big ones of today.  Not a good place to be experimenting.  I then tried snowshoes.  There was a crust and I would break through about a foot of powder to the next crust.  Lots of snow.  the deer are living in the moose and elk tracks.  Even in the timber its deep and to the ground.  Lots of crows hanging and the coyotes were screaming.  Three dead coons on the road and a bobcat on the freeway right after you get on by the firing center out here.  I almost turned back to get it, but decided not too. I was on that damn bridge, and I figured it would be a good way to get killed.  It  wasn't a very big one.  Coyotes were screaming everywhere I went. Must all had their bellies full.  There was a dead deer out on Banks lake.  Anyhow, had to see what damgage I could do on the shed antlers.  Not happening, but the good news is  the four wheelers aren't doing it either.  It was bare ground in those spots the last three years.  NOTthis year.  Banks is completely froze, the whole lake.  I've never seen that either.  Must be global warming.  Now I am home with my kids, one with the flu and the other in project mode.  Time for another taxidermy project, or maybe fondle some sheds, since it will be a long time before finding any, and I bet they will all be attached to skulls.

A full mount of one of those would look good in my living room.
