My dad and I made a connection with a landowner in Wadena County. We put our apps in today and Feb. 15th can't get here quick enough. We put in for season D Apr. 29 to May 3. It's our first year applying so I hope we draw. To top it off, it looks like I can buy my 11 year old daughter a tag over the counter! So regardless if my dad and I draw or not, I'll be in the spring woods with my daughter. To heck with ice fishing, bring on the spring woods and turkeys!!!

It's been that way for at least the last few years that I know.

In zones with a minimum of 50 tags per time period, this year it is available in EVERY zone. (if I read it correctly)

Thanks for the update Don.

I didn't schedule any clinics for this spring and haven't seen the new booklets let alone dig into the new regs. I'm aware of some of the changes, but not all of the nitty gritty details.

I need to do some research in my area to find some birds this winter. I know there was a flock of about 20 following the deer around in November. They've been scarce since the snow came.

My other areas have seen a drastic decline in birds over the past few years. I attribute that to wet springs/nesting season, some predation and quite possibly some poaching.

If I can find a huntable population around here, I will be mentoring again this year.

Sorry, I gave some bad information. Here's the real scoop:

You can buy an over-the-counter tag for ANY zone during one of the last two time periods. Certainly this tag can be used for archery. (This is a new law)

Archery only tags can be purchased over-the-counter for any zone with a minimum of 50 tags per time period. These tags will be good for entire two week period covering the last two time periods. (This law has not changed from last year)

      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

      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.
