Yah I agree, around Aitkin in good. In fact get yourself a good sporstmans atlas, drive North (any highway 169, 47, 65, 35, 61) for 90 minutes. Figure out where you are, open the atlas and start hunting the closest state forest. There will be one within 15/20 minutes of where you are and then just start exploring and hunting.

Best option if you have a GPS is check out the www.OutdoorProStore.com here on Fishing Minnesota and buy a MNTRAX or NDTRAX map. You get the public lands, plus roads and trails, lakes and contours and so much more. This way you can see where you are real-time in relation to the public land and boundaries. If you want to hunt some new private land, it also shows you the township, range and section number. Get a county PLAT map and now with this data, you know who owns the land.

The MNTRAX map is awesome. I've been using it for around couple of weeks now and it really helps you get a handle on alot of info placed exactly where you are on the map.

The DNR has a file you can download for Google Earth that shows the locations of:

All WMA's.

Hunting/Walking trails on WMA Lands

The WPA's, State Forests, National Forests etc aren;t on the site yet. I don't know if they will be but these files are free on the DNR site. You can slao link to the DNR site for each WMA which will give you information on size of the WMA, type of habitat, etc.

SD Game and Fish has done this for Garmin and Magellan. Lowrance is only a track file, no actual map. It also is only land masses, no roads, lakes trails, etc. It is hard to beat free but anyone who has used NDTRAX, MNTRAX, WYTRAX, or MTTRAX will tell you it isn't in the same league as these types of maps.

tybo, you are also correct on what the DNR provides but this is very limited and still requires lots of user work. It also does not have the roads, trails, lakes, and so much more.

Any of the TRAX maps allows you to simply insert your memory card and go. There is nothing like it for Garmin and Lowrance GPS units.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. What I am talking about is a file that you download for Google Earth.It doesn't not show WPA's or trails but it's also staellite imagery so you can see the terrain you would be hunting.

The MNTRAX map is awesome. I've been using it for around three weeks now and it really helps you get a handle on alot of info placed exactly where you are with you GPS Unit on the map.

Go the DNR HSOforum http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/wmas/index.html and if you look about halfway down the page there is a box with a green background. Follow the directions in that box and you'll get all the stuff the DNR has loaded onto your Google Earth application. When you use it there is a list on the left side and you can toggle stuff off and on. It gets pretty messy if you have the whole works on at once, but it is a heck of a tool.

Agree the DNR options to Google Earth is a nice option to see some things on the computer. Great option but when you go out in the field or go out scouting you will want the TRAX maps to have what is on the site and a lot more, directly on your GPS seeing it in realtime.

Tom7227 and others, just an FYI, that I will be adding another new product to the TRAX series of maps. There will be a PC version named MNTRAX PC for Minnesota as well as for all the other states. It will be a Google Earth add in allowing you to see the MNTRAX elements in Google Earth. Imagine seeing all the public lands in Minnesota including tax forfeit on Google Earth as well as the other TRAX elements including lake contours. It is scheduled to be released by March. Stay tuned for more.

      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.
