Great idea!

My dad was thinkin the same thing and bought me a come-along in case I didn't have anyone to help when I get a deer. However, he only got me the one with a 50 ft steel cable.

He also built me a ramp to clip to the tailgate of the truck so I could use the same come-along to winch the deer & sled up into the bed.

That's an awesome deer. I can only hope to get one that nice some day!

Hunted my ***** off this season. Spent time in the stand at least one morning and/or evening, every weekend, for the last 6 weeks straight with the exception of one weekend for a funeral. Of those hunting outings, 3 have been full weekend trips to get in at least two mornings and an evening. Even with that much time spent (more if you count scouting), I still was outsmarted, busted, winded, arrow-jumped, deflection-missed, and laughed at by many-a-deer. This was all on public land in different parts of the state. Finally whacked two does this past weekend (double does 5 min a part) with my new Hoyt Spyder 30. Just the fact that I stuck to it til the bitter end makes me very proud of my two does. Watched some small bucks & let em walk and also got a deflection treatment on a young 8 point and luckily missed entirely. It aint easy. Be proud if you shot it with a bow in a fair chase setting.

I should've gotten a hero picture with both of them, but the mile drag through thick tall grass with no trail had me a lil "out of it" so I didn't think about getting a better picture. Good luck to those who are still out there. I'll be taking a break to get some weekends in with the wife & kid (until gun season closes of course LOL).

I left school this afternoon at 3:45. I raced home to be in stand by 4:15 to get the last 50 mins of the hunt. The property I hunt for some reason the farmer left about 4 acres of corn standing next to some oaks and a swamp. Now that firearms had been done for about 10 days I figured I had a chance at a deer, but still a long shot. Got into my stand at 4:15 and had action right away as a lone doe came out of cattails and into corn. But about 100 yds away. Shortly after that, 3 adult deer slid behind me by 50 yds but then walked away. At 440, a nice doe appeared behind me and it was obvious she was going to come by at 30 yds. I let the arrow fly as soon as she was broadside. An absolute bulls eye shot. Double lung, went 50 yds watched her tip over. A nice way to end my season. I think the bitter cold had them up and moving tonight. Definitely a great way to end my season. She escaped death a couple of weeks ago as a slug passed through her just below the heart grazing the underside for some unlucky hunter. But not this time.....

Got out tonight for a quick hunt, was in the ground blind by 3pm and killed a nice mature doe at 4:05pm. If you look at the picture of the ground blind I shot her out of the window on the left, she was between the middle divider and the small trees. She only went 60-70 yards, all I can say is that Nocturnal nocks are awesome. First deer out of a ground blind also and that's awesome being eye level with them. Sorry for the cell phone picture my camera batteries were frozen, I kept looking at my phone and it was reading -15.full-23988-40068-img_20131207_145744.jpg

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
