Logan and I left Milton by 8am and got to Lowell at around 9. There was a lot of powder and I figured the hunting would be hard. We geared up the dogs with their collars and us with our snowshoes. We parked inside the gate to the Buckley's camp. Wayne, the care taker of the camp, let us inside the gate after he plowed. We were to put the cable up, but leave the lock unlocked for the fuel truck. As we went down the old logging road we were sinking in about 12 inches each step and the dogs were sinking about 8. There were a lot of hare tracks crossing the road and Bailey got the first start. Together they worked the feeder trail about a hundred yards before loosing it. The dogs were struggling to keep on the track as they could barely keep their head above the snow. All morning long they were barking on feeder trails, but never got anything moving. There were feeder tracks everywhere! I wish the conditions were better. Our feet were starting to get cold around 11 and we decided to head up towards the truck. I gathered up the dogs and headed for home. Maybe next time.
