SHED HUNTING THREAD - PICs INCLUDED


Recommended Posts

I was out at my dads farm by Pepin Wisconsin on sunday and glassed 5 bucks. All still had their headgear. I'll be going out the first week of march to start looking. I had some nice bucks on camera this year hopefully I can find a few of their sheds.

Well I finally hit the motherload. My buddy and I got a set that will probably go in the 200" category (if it was still on the deer). All I know is its gonna be really tough to top. Ill get some pics up off my phone and I think were gonna bring them to the whitetail classic too. Got 2 other sheds and a dead head today as well.

noteepical,

Are you sure you didn't shoot a littler buck last fall so you could save that big buck?

Sorry, but just couldn't resist!

Very nice shed, congrats and best wishes to you collecting the matching set this fall complete with delicious venison still attached grin

With the mild winter, he might grow an even bigger set this year.

Here is another dead head i found last year (170). its in the background of the other pic. I would rather be finding sheds then dead bucks! 8 out of 10 dead buck finds of mine are near water, like within 20 feet. The picture in my prev post is 2 feet from the river (looks like a big branch). I think if it wasnt for the vine in the rack it would have washed away! the left antler and skull was burried in frozen sand. used one of his rib bones to chip out. dead for a few years all i had to do was a quick rinse down. I am leaving it as is. I like the brown color in full-37697-17838-0220122120.jpg

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
