If I didnt have a 4x4, there is no way I could hunt/fish/trap where I do. Plus, I need one to get to and from work from time to time....We generally get way more snow than you guys down south, what you guys just got was an exception....I'm on the big lake, and we will get lake effect by the foot when you guys are bright and sunny. My job is one that pretty much requires me to get there, no matter the weather...Late night we got 3 inches, but coming home on I94 was a mess, I'm glad I had it....ok, enough, back to the huntin' stories....
