Terry i can see you doing that already!!!! When i see more than 3 strands of barbwire my eyes go

good luck gettin over that one buddy

Then of course Levi and i need to harrass each other when we are trying to cross. Heres a tip for all you new coyote hunters: Never trust your buddy to hold down the fence for you!!!! Always hold it down yourself especially if its a hot one

Always be safe,have your partner Pee on all fences to make sure they are not hot before crossing.

If you and your hunting partner were to take turns peeing on fences to see if it's on is like playing a little russian roulette in my eyes

Damn that would suck!!!!!!

I convinced my cousin to do that when we were kids.

I bet he only did it once.
I once had a dog that would do it time after time,then turn on the person nearest to him.I stayed away when I saw him approaching a fence.

Yeh,I've 'spilled'a few times going over fences.Its really nice when one shoe pins down the other-as you're straddling the fence.With the long Alaskans,its also thrilling if you're in a hurry and on the leg swing over,the end catches the fence.=nosedive.
If there's any good news Terry,it's that with all your snow,the 'lift over'isn't as high.Of course,the other side of the coin is there's deeper snow to nosedive into.
Ever shoe in drifted cattails?Now that can get interesting!We call it doing "a Herbie".You do a "Herbie'when you break through and go out of sight.Then,after a few deep breaths and dives under the snow to 'release'the shoes,you emerge and start your struggle to get out.Can take nearly an hour sometimes.
Good luck this weekend!

Terry,
One more thing,bring condoms this weekend.When using shoes,its always good to have your barrel covered.

LMFAO,LMFAO,LMFAO
I don't think my wife would understand why I am bringing them
And yes crossing a fence with snow shoes suck, but its awfully funny watching your partner do it!!!! Also trying to put them back on in the field, it can get quite humourus!!

I have to do something anyway. Took a spill on Saturday with my snowshoes. I couldn't see how big the downhill drift was and I got snow in my barrel. So I had to switch to my 243 for peace of mind until I could thaw out the drain it.

Condoms work but are too expensive and better used elsewhere.

I use balloons-just have to be careful not to lose them if you're in/out of a guncase cause they'll unwind.Tape also works well but often comes off in the cold.
In an emergency(say on a deer stand and you have no balloons when it starts snowing),I just tear off a piece of paper,lick it,then apply over the end of the barrel.It freezes in place=no snow in the barrel.
