Hunting is not life and death. It is more important than that.

I don't think it will be that bad.  We have miles of maintained trails.  We mow them anywhere from 6-8 feet wide.  After we get a snow (like the one on the second Saturday night of the gun season) some of the trails seem totally blocked.  Next spring everthing reverts back to normal.  My son and I drove a wheeler down one trail on Sunday morning (after the Saturday night snow) and almost couldn't make our way through.  On places we had the just put our heads down, close our eyes and plow through the wall of snow.  The most work will be finishing clearing the mess made during the three day blow last fall.  If you remember about 10 days prior to the gun season, we had a blow that lasted three days.  We spent several days clearing some of our major trails but didn't make it to all of them.  Some places I had to walk the trail with the chain saw running to cut my way through.  I don't look forward to finishing the job next spring.
