Next year I'm hoping for a 3rd season tag in CO and I have almost no experience with "real" winter weather so I have to ask...do you guys that hunt later in the year pack tire chains?
If you are driving a four wheel drive truck on an iced over black top road, do you chain up the back wheels, the front wheels, or all four?
Also, I remember reading a thread where a guy suggested that tire chains would help you get around if the dirt roads got muddy. In a situation where you get some snow, it melts, and all the dirt roads get real slick, are tire chains of use?
I'm pretty chicken when it comes to taking on a steep road when things get iffy and plan to use my boots way more than the truck. I'm just trying to get some realistic expectations about how mobile you can be with a pickup if things get sloppy.
Thanks for all the help and best of luck to those who still have tags to fill. A special thanks to all the veterans that read this. God bless and thank you for your service.
