Hi foxdropper, snow isn't a bad thing, just makes it hard to see my go to ground because it's under the snow..I'm gonna try and take pics today of it..and I like to use it for my pups. I wouldn't send one of my pups that's only 3 maybe 4 months old in a set..a 25lb coon or ground hog will have there way with them. I use it for fun and to let them use there nose to find the quarry I put in at the other end in a roll cage..so they can work it through the cage..so it's teaching them a few different things..one to locate and go in, 2- to use there nose, 3-to work the guarry.bay and engage..from y
