    This is how I get to my cameras this time of year :tu:

    The walk in is hard work, but beautiful.

    Good thing my camera was on top of a Stic-N-Pic! It's in the right side of the pic, barely above the snow...

    The walk back is always much easier.

    Here's a good comparison showing the added snow from late Dec - yesterday.

    Lot's of snow, but the deer don't seem to mind too much.

    We might have to borrow one of those from a guy we know up here to get my dad's Ice Castle off the lake :busted:

    Just about buried a big v-plow on the ice road trying to get to it yesterday before my trail cam outing.

    I could use a snow machine. Haven't been able to get to my cams for three months now.

    Being from Va I have never gotten to ride a snow machine. I have spent some time in Minnesota for work and seen them. They ride those things everywhere up there. I was in Elk River Minn for 6 months and then Waconia for a few weeks.
