The silent white world is a very r'elax$rig-place tq be and the triumphs and tragedies, of forest creatures are written .in the snow for you to. read. Here a ruffed grouse .took to wing just in front of a fox's rush; while a little furth r ..on, a set of cottontail tracks end hi a tuft of fur with the' wing prints. of a great horned Owl stamped' ,in the snow. These .graphic stories seldorit. take, place in your back yard, and to appreciate -them, one must get back .off the main roads and. travelled. • _paths, Snowshoe*' are just the ticket for doir'g that. '. Snowshoes; come. in a .targe: variety of shapes and sizes and the style orihehoose .P y y is largely a matter' of .personal preference.. The 'Bear Paw was developed for thickly, •• wooded areas, while the - Pickerel or Alaskan' is long and ' narrow and.. was. intended for use in open country. The best: all. round design for our area is often called' the Algonquin or Maine model, Snow§hoe size varies in relation to .the weight. of�the wear*. The 48" length; is the most cpm on with12" m a width for le, that PSP:. weigh 130-160 lbs., 13" •width for 160-190 lbs,: and 14" width for 190-220 lbs. People weighingless than 1.30 lbs.. can .opt for the 1,2" 42 size while � those oyer 220;• lbs, should go for the 14' x S2"' 'and larger s1zes. • Proper harnesses are also .requited and there is a large variety of styles and shapes. to choose from. The things to watch for in.a harness are: 1. that they are good sturdy bindings A,nd 2. that .they are fully adjustable `The Bates Humane and the Faber :harnesses are,,,the„ ones I prefer although there are ' mal g gather --rood design available One of •the Simplest and.

' Th rpllin gait used when, welkin 4 snowshoes is not too difficult to master and .it is surprisinghow it will eat up miles when: you are accustomed to it, It is a. good idea to get acquainted with your snowshoes by taking short trips initially, however. ;Muscles you never knew you had are used g B p•. when snowshoein , and long tri the first try can bring pain . i•..tn and a ony;ttr�nezt day. , Y More irn ortant, going into the bush can be easy oowshocs, bet if you tire and:your `moscles: start to "stiffen, •;getting out becomes not onlyainful.erous., but dangerous. g.
