I do and have for years. If you are pulling in deep snow it is not any good but I run packed trails for the most part all winter and it works fine. Pretty heavy machine so you don't want to get stuck to often.

Are those fan cooled? Fan cooled sleds can save you a lot of grief if you hunt on hard packed snow.

Yeah they are Duane it's a bit heavier that I would like but I bought it to try out. It's left over from 2015 still in the crate...I've never owned a brand new anything lol we shall see how it goes

The only time weight really matters if you get stuck and all sleds are heavy when they are stuck.

Doing alright. I told my one friend that my Walker pups are so fast that he might as well give up bobcat hunting this winter as the woods are going to be littered with dead bobcat corpses, killed by my walkers, on the ground. :beer
