Tax Forfeit land

I haven't seen any posted land yet near the area we are planning to hunt this fall. Wanting to respect private land whether posted or not, I started looking at the county plat for the area.

With the exception of 3 40s which are clearly privately owned, we have primarily timber land and state land for a couple miles in each direction. We plan on only hunting in the state land and only using timber land for access (if at all). However I am also seeing a good amount of tax forfeit land around us. Just wondering how to treat that?

I imagine tax forfeit goes back to the county and is available for use if not posted? I'll probably call the county office to clarify also...

The regs seem to only discern between public and private land. To me public would be anything federal, state, or county owned, right?

You're good to go on forfeit lands!

Yup, that's what the county surveyor just confirmed for me.

Wow! that about doubles the available land. I'm guessing most of it is forfeited by the timber company? It would seem odd to me if that many private citizens forfeited their property.

Good question. I guess every parcel has its own story but I'm sure a lot of the Tax forfeited land is timber company land. Back in the day land wasn't that big of a deal and a lot of people got sick of paying taxes on it so they simply gave it up or they came on hard times and had to give it up. Depending on the area you might notice a lot of the tax forfeited land is land locked by privite land so unless you get access through a private party its impossible to get to.

Remember though while this is New land to you, it's likely not for many others. Scout it well in advance making note of where others may be hunting. You're right it's fair game and probably plenty of room for you too. But, you don't want to be the guy aimlessly wandering around on opening morning. That's for your own safety and to not unneccessarily disturb the hunts of others.

Check with the county which owns it first. In St Louis county, you need to have a permit to use tax forfeit land.

You don't need any special permit to hunt on St. Louis County tax forfeited land. You just need to abide by all State and local ordinances.

Ive been hunting tax forfeited land for a while (with no permit) so I was surprised to read it when I was checking out the land department HSOforum last week. Ive even got the St Louis County plat maps...

But today, for the life of me, I cant seem to find the part where I read it...guess it proabably isnt true - thanks for making me double check.

      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.

      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.
