I couldn't see and have never heard anything like it but last night something was in the yard that sounds like a very angry cat. My fiance heard it sometime last week go through and though it was 2 animals fighting. Our suet feeder was knocked down but no suet gone. The suet feeder has ended up like this about 4 times in the last 7-10 days now. Last night she woke me up at 3am as it was making it's way through the yard again but I couldn't see it at all. Wish I had a trail cam to put out.

It sounds like an angry cat or a cat fighting with something. I didn't see two animals going at it all and the neighbor said she heard what sounded like her cats fighting but it was just one larger cat that she couldn't identify either last week. What makes this noise? Could it be an overgrown POed barn cat? Or is it some kind of bobcat or wild cat? At first though maybe racoons fighting but it sounds more like a cat.

Note: Live about 20 miles outside Moose Lake, I know there is bear, coons, turkey, deer in this area just not sure about what wild cats might be around here.

Don't go out to investigate! It sounds suspiciously like a Meander (probably a Lesser), and you don't want to mess with one of them. Vicious brutes, and absolutely the most feared bird in the Northwoods. Thankfully they seldom come around homes/people, so most have never seen one.

They run faster than a deer, have razor-sharp talons and a wickedly long and slightly hooked beak. While they tend to be a ground bird, in flight they are blazing quick and have been known to dive down on their prey from trees, often striking without warning.

Have a care.

The suet holder I'm sure is being robbed by coons. It's on a string in a pine tree and everytime it's knocked down the string is looped up on top of the branch so something is pulling it up from the top of the branch.

Oddly I see the coons running around at times around 10-11pm but they are silent. This thing around 3am is loud. Wonder if we have a bobcat in the area or if it's just the coons fighting. Maybe one of these nights actually get a look at it. Guess it's time to charge up the spot light.

I agree with Jameson and Archerysniper on the Grey Fox. I've got one here too that comes around early morning. I didn't know what it was until I did a search for Grey Fox sounds. I've seen him in the yard several times over the past 2 years.

Grey Fox do climb trees also.

      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.
