Didn't see a TV forum and this best fit in Hunting I thought. Anybody else watched this show Wild Within on Travel channel? I caught 2 episodes and have 2 more on my DVR right now. It's not really a hunting show or a survival show but kind of both, hard to explain as it's more just a way of life.

Maybe travel channel explains it best:

I like the idea behind it. Unfortunately we all can't afford to own cabin's in Alaska or afford to fly to all over the world to stock our freezers. It's definitely not a cost savings he is trying to obtain but the idea is kinda cool. It's also interesting to me at least to see them actually tape and broadcast him gutting, cleaning, quartering and butchering as this is also a key part of hunting. I know many non-hunters would no appreciate this part of the show but as a hunter I know that hunting isn't only sitting in a stand waiting for that magical shot and then it ends up in my freezer, there's a lot of work to be done after the kill also.

I just watched this for the first time a few days ago. Definitely set it up on the DVR from now on. Have to admit though, I lost a little respect for him when he said he couldn't shoot a moose because it didn't have 'horns'.

I haven't seen the show yet and I am just guessing but maybe he only had a bull tag? Just because you are on TV doesn't mean you can just go out and shoot anything.

I thought he passed on the cow as they are protected and he could only legally shoot a bull moose.

I still am liking this show, the San Francisco one wasn't completely my cup of tea but it was interesting to see them cook up a road killed racoon. And although foraging and gathering plants isn't my thing I do kinda wish I had the ability to recognize edible plants in the wild.

Oh, sorry, I applaud him for passing on the cow. I assume you're correct and he had a bull tag. My lost respect stems from the fact that moose don't have 'horns', they have antlers. Drives me nuts every time I hear about what a great set of 'horns' that deer has, etc. He missed a good chance to educate the non-hunting public.

I also watched the moose hunt Sunday night, it was the first time I saw the show. I really enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of how I hunt deer here in MN. I have to admit I'm pretty jealous of him. He has a pretty sweet gig there....

Anybody catch the Alaska one a few days ago? Pretty sweet. Trying to use that episode to convince the old lady to let us move there. Shrimp, crab, black-tails, geese, all in a few days. Not to mention the great ocean fishing, halibut, salmon, cod. Some guys have all the luck.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
