I was using my grandfathers ancient flat bearpaw shoes, with no toe curl, and the snow was very crusty that night in 1966. I did my share of stumbling and falling I can tell you! I actually got one shot at a bunny; I turned quickly and shot and fell flat on my back, glad that I was alone.Those shoes were awful and have not seen the snow since! But not so awful that I didn't varnish them up like new and hang them on my bedroom wall here.
Coyotes are everywhere. I've seen them within 200ft of my house here and ran over one 215miles north of Fairbanks a number of years ago. They are everywhere in Alaska except north of the Brooks Range. They kill foxes, and a lot of dogs, and the wolves kill them, but they still seem to be expanding their range.
