I have a question for you guys. There is a spot I want to bow hunt this year. It is a lot closer to my house then the family land is. There is a big field that is out in the middle of nowhere. Can I put a food plot in it? I have looked at the regulations. There is tons of stuff about cutting trees, but I couldn't find anything about making a food plot in a field that already exists.

Have you called the owner of the land- county, state or federal, etc. ? If it isn't legal, saying that someone on the internet told you its OK won't get you out of a fine. If you can say, the county forester told you Ok that has more weight.

a few years ago is a long time, call a CO to be safe the last thing you want is to get a ticket and your defence is a guy on the internet said it was ok

FWIW, he said it is NOT legal. Still best to get an answer from the source and not the internet though as the answers could change depending on the type of public land and the entity that runs it.

I am not sure how it is done, but someone plants food plots on some public lands. Perhaps Pheasants Forever? Just drove by the Swan Lake WMA today and saw plenty of standing corn. Maybe try contacting your local CO, PF group, or DNR.

Even if you could get permission you have to remember that it is fair game for anyone else to hunt over as well. So you would be putting in all the work only to have someone stumble across it and start hunting it. I have also seen some public land with food plots on them and always wondered who plants them. Maybe the dnr would let an organization like Jameson mentioned do the planting if you talked to them, its worth a shot.

If you build it they will come!

Actually it is in a very very secluded spot. No trails or nothing to it. It was a fluke that I found it. I am not too worried about someone hunting there. I will put my portable up the day it is legal to do so. And I will be in it well before legal shooting hours, if another bowhunter finds it and hunts when I'm not in it, so be it.

thats what i meant, it is not legal. and as far as PF and other organizations, they partnered with the DNR to create them.

as mentioned above, i would call a CO and hear it 1st hand

      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.
