Polling our readers - Jan.-Feb. 2021

I sold my machine a couple of years ago, but when I had it, it was strictly used for getting in and out of back lakes for ice fishing. I always had my snowshoes along with me strapped to the rack, as did my fishing buddies. Never went into the bush without them! Were they used? Sometimes and sometimes not? Just having them with you is a "use", is it not? As Werner and MP have said, poorly asked question.

Snowshoes usually in my truck under the toolbox after January for coyote hunting.

Don't wear them a lot as if anyone has ever tried walking 3 high strung hounds on a lead with snowshoes on knows what I mean....lol

Never used them for hunting in all the years we've lived here. Truth is, very rarely do we have deep snow down for hunting season in Nov. I can only remember twice in 20 yrs that it was too deep to use the ATVs and we resorted to walking.
