Does anyone else like to walk around with there bow on snowshoes? I took a nice hike around the woods today on my snowshoes shot a few stumps and looked for sign.  
No one home here.

 
This stump looked like a mushroom
 

I have an old pair of Northwoods Brand, Safesport, 30" X 12" Bearpaws...Haven't been on them in almost ten years! Looking for a reason to play in the snow! Short and great for heavy cover sneakin' and peekin'...

P.S. Now that I am 200 pounds, wonder if they will hold me up?... :rolleyes: ...

I do when the snows get deep enough to warrant them. I'm real good at tripping myself though.

Snowshoe all the time just to get to my truck over 7 feet of snow here east of Lake Ontario LOL
 Usually just shoe or xcountry ski scouting. I lose to many arrows stumping in the snow.

Yea, snowshoin is a good time we just aint got the snow to justify strappin them on right now.

yep, love to snowshoe, no real snow to speak of this year, haven't used em yet

Man I thought this was about bunny hunting...  

In all seriousness....I have never snowshoed. I have always wanted to learn, but every local workshop gets cancelled....no snow.

Learn? If you can walk, you can snowshoe.

Now if you want to MAKE your own, well that's something else altogether!

Update - Redfield, NY has at this hour 134 inches of snow from the lake effect that began 2/2/07. Another foot of snow due overnight and tomorrow, another foot forecast for Monday...

Geez, I thought everyone in NY would be on snowshoes by this weekend.

Yup snowshoeing is great fun. I started in high school - a 'few' years ago. Now that it's a fad I feel for once I'm fashionable too.    

Not to in any insult anyone, but you don't need to go to a class or the like to enjoy it.  Just go do it!    

Have fun

Love to get out in snow shoes. Have not had much snow the past few years though.

I have 4 pair 2pr of Michigan style a narrower pair from WW II and a newer pair of Redfeathers that have a neoprene deck on them instead of rawhide webbing,if the country is open enough you'll go further and with less effort on a pair of Xcountry skis which keep you a float equally as well as shoes.

Always wanted to try that, haven't ever found a pair to purchase that I could afford, don't have time to try and make a pair, usually not much snow(at least in the last few years) we have snow now though and rabbit season is still open!!
Does anyone know where I can get a set big enough to hold a 270LBS 6'4" yeti like myself-
I don't want to hijack the thread so just PM me if you might know and what type also--

Yep, loved it but you need some real snow, that's been kind of scarce the past few winters in N. Mi (the E side where I now hang out). Used to do it quite a bit up by Frederic MI, in the snowbelt. Still have three sets, just need snow.

One of my best memories is my litte (5'0") wife snowshoeing to work when our whole darned mid-Michigan town was closed due to a big storm. Even the chemical plant I worked at was closed, that's big-time snow, never happened before or since...but that was about 30 years ago!

When we snowshoe in Houston we use hip boots or chest waders, depending on how much rain we've had. We then stump shoot with corks on our arrows.

Snowshoes are great when you need them. Lately we haven't had a ton of snow here in WI.  If it comes, I have about a half dozen pair here at the house (although one pair I still haven't finished lacing).

Yea, I hunt snowshoes on my snowshoes we always have plenty of snow up where the snowshoes live in the mountains.
    Did I exceed my limit on the usage of snowshoe?

Do I snowshoe?  Only if I want to get anywhere lol.  I will admit this pic is from last winter.  This winters been mild until lately.

Never have and around here -well- folks made fun of me when I pulled out my snowshovel the first year I was here.  We had 3" of snow that year.
