Snowshoe

We tumbled down the mountain slipping and sliding in the darkness we were moving with a purpose with new found strength and motivation we pushed on. We took our snowshoes off hoping to make better time by just sliding down the mountain rather than walking. As we approached our first river crossing I set down my pack and realized I had lost a snowshoe. Somewhere up the mountain I had dislodged it from my pack and before us was miles of deep snowfields that were totally impassable without snowshoes. Weighing in my predicament I knew this could totally end our chances of having banana bread tonight. Then I got an idea I could just duck tape my avalanche shovel to my boot and it would help me stay afloat in the snow. With my modified snowshoe rigged up we started out with nothing but banana bread on our minds. Hours later we neared the trail head seeing this I began to run towards the car my modified snowshoe was barely intact but I didn’t care. We let out a yell as we got to the car we had made it I had never felt more relieved in my entire life. By the end of the day we had hiked over thirteen hours and had gone over 25 miles in one day. I learned a valuable lesson on that trip. I learned to never give up no matter the circumstances your faced with. Your mindset can predict your outcome. All in all I’m glad that we did what we did we learned a lot about ourselves…

From the day I was born, I have been a part of a local snowmobile club because of my parents’ love and commitment for the sport. With over 3,000 active snowmobile clubs worldwide and at least 250 in Minnesota, there is the opportunity to become involved, but the…

Inez has four grids, Spring Creek has three, Tally has nine, and Marcum Mountain has two. We began "Snowshoe Hare School" on June 11, 2016 by setting two of the Inez grids. According to Dr. Mills and his current graduate student, Brandon Davis, Inez is good to learn on before moving further northwest to Tally. Now that I have completed all the grids, I agree. Some of the first things we learned was the gear we needed and how to carry it all through the backwoods of Montana. Apples, alfalfa, bear…

In this report I will be discussing different causes which contribute to the population change of the snowshoe hare and lynx. The snowshoe hare is known for its constant decrease and increase in population density every 10 years. By looking at why and when they increase and decrease compared to when the lynx population decrease and increase we can see if the lynx depend of the hare as their main source of food.

The Lynx is a superb climber and swimmer with great agility and speed. Though the snowshoe hare is agile…
