IT begins

There’s some snow on our trails. What we got a week ago is slowly settling and being melted from the ground up but there’s talk of some big snow coming. We’ll see, it all depends on the angle of the wind and the humidity around us.

We’re all excited and anticipating the winter approaching but think twice - Wisconsin Deer Gun Season starts this Saturday. For those nine days, there will be many people out there with high powered rifles.

From November 19th to the 27th, Don’t go out on our trails or anywhere else in the woods without blaze orange on at least half your body.

On the Montreal Trails, don’t go anywhere near the Pence Loop, Calucchi’s, Stanley’s, Pavlovitch, or Deep Rock trails. These are private lands and there are numerous active deer stands on those trails. These private land owners graciously allow us to use their land; but only after they are done deer hunting. Please respect their time out there.

However, we installed the tracks on the Gator. We’ll start the Alpine and the Tundra (there will be some blue smoke along Illinois Ave in Montreal) in anticipation of packing trail; but we really get these machines up and running this time of year in case the Iron County Sheriff’s Office needs us to help out on a lost hunter or a snow emergency during deer season.

If that’s obscure, we work together up here. We have to, there just aren’t a lot of people in our woods. We all have to cooperate.

Be careful for the next week or so; but get out there.

We’ll see you on the tracks. Very. Soon.

Ski freely. Z
