Check out the post I just added a few minutes ago to the Deer forum. I've taken deer within minutes of timber wolves passing by. I continue to maintain that deer do not instinctively cower from wolves and a wolf in the area will not necessarily cause the deer to vacate.

You know, for an animal that is completely native and in relatively low numbers, the wolf sure gets cursed by a lot of hunters. Heaven Forbid a natural predetor takes a few of "your" deer. Maybe you wont have herds of deer walking past your stand to choose from. I think its natures way and hunters are getting awefully spoiled lately. And yes, I am an avid bowhunter myself.

sure you're a bowhunter, but i'm guessing not a farmer. ever lost livestock to a wolf? young cattle and horses are rather easy prey for a wolf. not saying take them out for hunting's sake, but how about ones livelyhood?

sure its all ma natures plan, but she also gave us the materials to make firearms.

No Im not a farmer, and I agree with you about losing precious cattle and horses. If I seen a wolf killing one of my livestock animals, I would have no problem killing it. And I think others should be able to do so also. But I was just saying there are a lot of hunters who immedietely think all wolves should go, thats all.

So how many livestock have been lost to wolf attacks in the past score or even past half-century? I've been living in Osakis for the past 20 years and I have never heard of anyone within 100 miles losing any livestock to wolves, mountain lions, or other predators. I've seen lions within 100 yards of my horses and they were not threatened or harmed. Sounds more like an excuse than a reason.

I would have to disagree...2 groups of domestic geese near Hoffman were destroyed by coyotes. 100% verified by sight and by locating the "denning area' of the buggers. Also one calf taken down...and herd spooked on several occasions. Bones found in "denning area" appeared to be from deer.

haven't been around menahga or pine river area then. lots of wolves sampling calves. i have two buddies that raise a dozen beef, but make their living raising horses for other people. its a shame seeing a half chewed up colt in the pasture.

when i hunt with them for a day or two during muzzleloader season, it is not uncommon to see a wolf or two each day. pretty sure they're not coyotes. i've hunted them before. way too big to be a coyote.

I hate to say it but you are dead wrong here. If you haven't heard of any being killed you must not talk with many farmers. Try north a little ways and talk to some farmers. I think you would be VERY surprised as to what you find out.

I have seen more wolves the past 3 years on the North Shore than I have seen my whole life living up there. Take em off the list and establish a management plan.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
