on a lighter note...

You don't understand anything, this is an inexpensive epilation.

but why a little strange pose? The snow is such that there is nothing to do without skis, and if you took a step away from the snowmobile trail... then wait until they pull it out. Moreover, it is impossible to pull out even one boot, you have to dig it out:

I once stepped off my skis to clear a binding. I must have been over an air pocket. I caught one of my skis on the way by and somehow was able to muscle my way back up.

One thing you learned was to stay away from small pine trees when skiing or snowshoeing. They are actually large pine trees and will have a shadow (air pocket) on the downwind side that can be very difficult to get out of if you fall into it. On the flip side, if you are stuck in the woods at night you want to get into one of these air pockets. They are perfect snow caves and the dead branches at the base burn easily. The tree acts as a chimney.

I have never been in such a landscape, and generally hunt on skis individually. I got into areas with cedar elfin, slightly covered with snow, it is an ideal anti-personnel barrier. In the spruce forest, as part of a group, you can spend the night comfortably.
And now there is a rather rare situation, a record level of snow - in open places just above the knee and it is possible to walk from the snowmobile trail to the position, having trampled. In the lowlands and places where snow accumulates, there can be anything. If you fall, it is difficult to get up, there is nothing to lean on - the hand goes into the snow up to the shoulder. And in this case, the bottom layer of snow was wet, but at the same time solid, and there was water under it, despite the low temperature (snow is a good thermal insulator), and the foot fell into a trap. But there was no pulling out by snowmobile.

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
