THE DANG TRAILS WERE OPEN IN VILAS COUNTY!! Checked my road ditches, farm field crossing, unplowed forest roads, the marked trail & all were socked in with a ton of snow. No tracks anywhere & no grooming on the trail so we are all being good boys & girls. We will see how things go this weekend. Will everyone continue to surpress the urge to ride until the 15th in WI? I would not bet on it. lol
I Would Be Riding If...........
- Thread starter whitedust
- Start date
Please dont bet on it....there will be tracks in Vilas county tommorrow...cant say where but it is B*ulder J*nction...Good luck trying to figure out my secret words...Even Ubee cant figure that one out!
I agree with ya nhra1000 I exspect to see tracks everywhere starting tomorrow. Clubs better have gates shut or sleds will be coming thru. I didn't see any hunter tracks on trails or Fire Roads snow is too deep to trudge thru & track deer seems like hunters are done freezing their butts off -0 temps. Pretty tuff to sit there & wait for a deer to wander by. Please stay off lakes still not safe.

What makes it worse is there are no deer up nort! Oh well, Deer Hunting is more than just hunting deer! Beer
Bombed around in the woods today...somebody has got to inspect Ubee's work! Didnt really go anywhere and still ended up with 20 miles. Its a shame that they wont open the trails. I heard and dont know if its true or not, muzzleloading ended Wed. and there is a anterless only hunt but its mid state and south. So why they arent open right now is beyond me..Enjoy a couple pics.
