I was out blood trailing a red fox yesterday on the side of my ridge. Looked for a few hours but the blood trial quit and the fox crossed so many tracks that I lost the trail. Luckily the snow melted a few weeks ago so it got hard and crusty providing good traction. I luckily never fell or slipped. The hill is really steep on both sides. To the point I almost feel like I’m climbing straight up in places. I used to have a couple pairs of rubber cleats that slipped on over my boots but they are long gone. I think the rubber rotted and broke. They always seem to come off when I walked up the hill. I googled and found these in boy they sure look cool!!! I’m sure they would do the trick but it looks like they are long gone and out of stock. I would think maybe a surplus store might have them? Anyone ever uses and how do they work for traction in snow? I have some pretty slippery slopes I climb up when I hunt and figured they sure look like they would bite in the ground! I think I need to find me a pair. I have a size 11 and 10 1/2 boots I’d use them on.
