Just curious how many of you use snowshoes to do your varmint hunting, scouting, etc. in the wintertime, also what make/style you prefer.
I have a pair of Atlas 930's, 10 x 32 aluminum frame, rated for 250 lbs. They have good ice picks on the bottom, and use a suspension system on the bindings. Great for climbing and picking your way through thick brush/timber. The pair weighs 3.2 lbs, good for strapping on your pack when not needed.
I used to have some large wooden frames, but found them to be a pain in thick timber and no good for climbing.
