Walleyehooker Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Rather ride my Harleys to but its Minnesota and if nothing else its going to get cold soon. Put my bikes into storage and the snowmobile is siting in their place and ready to go. I know its going to get cold I just hope we get some snow with it this year. Sure would like to get more than the usual 2-300 miles on the sled this year. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike89 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 mine has been put to bed too, the sled cause of the lack of snow I gave to the kids and grand kids last year. Just the wheeler left for winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleyehooker Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Well no Halloween snow storm and not even any cold enough weather to snow for at least the next couple of weeks. This keeps up I may have to load up the bikes and go south for the winter. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 My sleds are home, but with the forecast, didnt see any reason to rush and get them ready to roll. I did go out last Thursday and brush the trail from the house out to the state trail (@ 2/3 of a mile). Boy did the wind storm and aftermath do a number on it, took quite awhile and some serious chainsaw work to get it all cleaned out. All ready to go now tho. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech~~ Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 Hey it's coming. I saw a "sign" in the woods last weekend. The biggest, fattest, most obese squirrel I have ever seen in my life waddling around by my Deer stand. He's getting ready for something really big and bad!

Walleyehooker Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Ive got one of those sitting at the bird feeder right now eating like a pig. Not sure that is a sign winter is coming but he is definitely taking advantage of the nice weather to fatten up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have never seen so many red squirrels working so hard to gather food of late, and they are not even afraid of you at all. something wicked is coming our way. late freeze is a good thing, the average late freeze ups in the metro, I believe 12 out of 15 winters have been cold and snowy. leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think in the last two weekends I must have easily seem over 100 Doe's a fawns in the ditches eating. It's crazy and their getting loaded up for something?

knoppers Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 OK, I am taking all the credit for this weekends storm, since I decided to buy a new wheeler this week instead of a new sled. leech~~ and Walleyehooker 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walleyehooker Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Hmmmm looks like the snow started to come this year and now left around here. Forecast isn't looking promising either. Heck if I didn't have my bikes in storage I would have taken a ride today. Hope the snow stays up on the range as it landed in my yard up there and just might take a ride up there when the trails open on December 1st leech~~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxMN Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Saw lots of tracks in the ditches up in Xlake this weekend, but with the rain it will all be a bout gone, except the plow drifts. I spent 3 hours blowing the driveway on Friday, and should have just left it, haha! Now if the lakes will just be able to freeze before the next snow...
