I scurried across the river 2 weekends ago while whitetail hunting, I could hear the beaver dams flowing yet but i saw a deer cross in one area so thought the ice was strong enough for my carcass. Happy i made it across. lol As for the little lakes back home they are usually safe to walk out a ways however i have not been home to check things out. We have had unusually warm weather so things are probably a bit behind schedule. Today was fairly mild and what little snow we had melted. But by the time of my Christmas break on the 16th there should be plenty of ice to walk on, hopefully take the truck out closer to New years.
