I would say yes if the ground is not to frozen where you are.
The trees are dormant and would not be harmed if you dig out a large root ball to transport them.

Got them back now to put some tread on them

What size are they? Small ones are fairly easy. Be prepared to give them a daily watering all through next growing season.

Yes when not frosty, get as many roots as you can, dont let them dry out, re plant asap,and plant at the same depth, they may need staking to keep firm , good luck.
