Fish- N- Hunt

Recommended Posts

I have hunted the same land for over 10 years now and with very good success. I found out this year the farmer has SIX bowhunters hunting a VERY small section of land. The land is only large enough for three hunters max. Do I hunt this spot every night to let the other hunters no that I won't give up my spot or do I just give up the land that I love to hunt for so many years. I am very frustrated, the farmer I don't think has any concept as to how many hunters a piece of land should accommodate. What would you do, I have the availability to hunt every single night?

Thanks

I'd probably hunt it hard early season & see how it goes, maybe some of the other guys will get frustrated & leave. Did you ever ask the farmer about limiting the access? If you know him well enough, or think he'd be approachable about it, I'd try talking to him. The other thing is they may be very casual bowhunters, some guys only 2-3 times a season. Personally I can't comprehend that, but it's everyone's choice.

Same thing happened to me lastyear.Well the year b/4,I planned several food plots along this 80 acre corn field I hunt.So,last summer I'm all excited,working very hard to get these in (along with my own $$$$$$).Well then comes the early goose season and I'm out at the field with my Dad when I hear 2 4 wheelers by our trucks.So I hand Dad the gun and took off runnin to the trucks.As I get there I see 2 guys taking off,so I yelled at them to get back to me.Well they did and come to find out they had permission from the land owner to bow hunt here.I was so upset,all this time and money lost I was thinkin.

Well I still hunted everyday,I think they got sick of me always out there and have not returned nor have they put up any stands.

We did end up with my 10pt and my nepews first deer ever,8pt monster.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
