My attempt earlier this week after almost 2 feet of snow. The snow was so dry and thick that toboggans would mostly just sink in the snow and not slide down the hill, even with a deep grade. I literally had to swing my coil under the snow to get any reasonable depth at all. After about 45 minutes, I was just plain pooped out. My total for the day was 2 coins and a screw.
Below is a pic from tonites hunt. The snow was nicely compacted. I had to wait until about 5:30 this afternoon before the people sliding down the hill left. By then it was nearly dark out. I hunted for about 2 hours, under the star lit sky. The strong northerly winds died off and it turned out to be a most enjoyable hunt.
So.....when was the last time you detected, looked up to the skies and saw the big dipper?
