You'd probably have better luck trying for coyotes. Unless you plan on bringing a layout blind and a few hundred decoys. The snows get smart to the roads after a week or so which makes ditch-pigging nearly impossible.

Re: Snows or yotes??
I don't understand the problem, you bring both guns and hunt both.... I never leave city limits without my guns ( take that back last week we went up to the tailrace fishing in the boat and I didn't throw the rifle in the truck
)
Unless we get a major warm spell the snows will still be south of there........ And there is lots of snow in that country.... And if it starts melting fast in that area bring a boat cause they are talking major water every where.........
Hate to be a bearer of bad news, but unless the conditions are just right travel on the back country roads could be tough.
That being said there are a shit load of coyotes in that area, land is good, somewhat open, with most farmers will give permission. Snowmoblies are plenty and critters are back in off the roads, with plenty of leg you can get to them

You might not want to rule out knee high boots straped into a pair of snowshoes
Last year the one feild we set up in, was shallow water in the morning, by after noon things got mealting and our blinds were swimming... Lucky for me my buddies got tubs in there blind or we would have been flooded out of that feild.............
