My buddy I believe found out they had a bunch of Excess Tags for Utah. He's never been in the state but has a Muzzleloader Tag for a Bull. He had his choice of Cow In-Mature Bull or a Bull and he figured extra like 50 bucks for a bull was worth it. We'll see what happens later this year. He did buy the tag mid summer though when he was messing around on the computer. GOod luck

Yup, like mrklean said- some smasher bulls there. However, most of the state is draw and anywhere you'd likely find some of those high 300's bulls is definitely draw. I dream of hunting the San Juans some day... Actually, it's not completely a dream- building pref points, but it'll take a lot of them to draw the tag I want.

I had some pref points for Utah but quit - too much $$$ for me. If I could afford it I would - no doubt some excellent elk hunting there.

Coots, do you mean PP building is just too pricy for ya or do you mean it is in Utah? Utah is actually one of the most affordable states to build PP's. It's a little bit complicated to explain how, but you can get PP's in Utah for only $42.50/year. Obviously, that adds up over time, but that's a whole lot cheaper than AZ ($158.75/year) or NV ($157/year)! I REALLY want to get a tag in AZ- there are a couple zones there that I'd give my left... um... arm for. However, they're about 15 years of PP's, and I can't see dumping that kind of money into an animal.

All I can do is dream about something like that... I do have a lottery ticket in my wallet that I haven't checked though. Dreamin' is good sometimes...

Scoots - more bitter at the price increase than the actual amount. Used to be $10 - supply and demand goes into action and it goes up to $50, or almost. I'll have to check back into it, suppost I lost my points - have any idea how long you keep them without applying?

No- I don't have a clue how long they last. I know some states dump them after a couple years of inactivity, but I don't know any details or what states do this.

Yeah, it's becoming a rich man's game. I'm anything but rich, but I'd sure like to play...

FYI- a buddy of mine went to the area we hunted in WY this Sep and will be doing a write up in the archery forum. He had a whale of a hunt and it should be interesting...

FYI, you can buy just a bonus point for each species if you want. Then when you are ready to start putting in, you will have some points in the system. This year, they issued 500 bull rifle tags in unit 10. Seems like everyone i know has a tag up there. What areas are you thinking of Scoot

Are you asking about AZ or UT? For UT, I've got a connection on a San Juan hunt that'd be second to none. However, as you suggest- I'll be buying PPs for many more years before I even bother to apply for it. If you're asking about AZ, I've got a connection for a tag there that will point me in the right direction, but I don't know the unit yet. I'm a good decade out from bothering to apply to AZ too... Point creep is going to be the death of me! Areas that require 10 points now will need 15 by the time I'm ready to apply to them. But, not much I can do about it...

The obvious solution is to win the lottery...

      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.

      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.
