My Grandpa loved to fish. When he passed away he left me alittle money. I used that money to buy my 3 kids the lifetime license. If my kids move out of state they will be able to come back and fish for free.

Thanks Grandpa

That is a cool idea, and they not only fish for free, but they are not having to buy on the higher non-resident license fee. Now that makes sense to me.

Wonderful gift. Now you have this grandpa thinking

Well, I got my lifetime license when I was 15 and I've never regretted it. If you look at it financially, it 'pays for itself' in 6 yrs for me. But I guess I also don't plan on moving anywhere permanently. I love MN

I'm pretty sure my dad will get himself one too now that hes over the 51 mark.

Another reference to "I could invest the money". Fact is, you are not investing the money. You are spending it on something else, and most people probably couldn't even tell you where it goes.

I'm pretty sure if I hadn't bought mine, the extra money would have ended up in some bartenders pocket (earlier in life) or in a new set of window treatments (later in life). Neither provide a very good return on investment crazy

I would get a lifetime fishing lisc, to many things can go wrong in life to get a sportsmans. you will always beable to hunker down on a bank to fish but walking in a$$ deep snow with bad knee's when your older could be tough. I havent looked a prices lately but a couple years ago it seemed to be a good deal...

I would rather give the money to the bartender than the government. He has to be able to eat and buy his license too.

I don't drink, do you? so the bartender won't be getting my extra $. I'll keep the 400+$ and take an extra trip someplace to catch some fish and enjoy myself. I hope i can come up with 20$ yearly for a license. I could also spend the extra money on escorts?

So you would rather give your money to a bartender than pre-pay for your right to fish? I think I am understanding why the economy is so messed up.

Sure. The money supports the bartender and a local business which helps the local economy. The economy is messed up from the government and peoples bad decisions (Which by the way don't include not buying a lifetime fishing license).

How does paying the government help the economy?

Somehow i think the point is getting lost that your not paying the government for nothing. you are purchasing a license that you will purchase anyways only at a cheaper long term price. Taking into account you purchase it at an appropriate age to reap the savings. Whether you pay them a little each year which will be more in the long run or a one time payment for a lifetime license you are still giving your money to the same people. So to sum up you are giving the government the money one way or the other. you are still paying for a privledge you want to excercise. The economy is messed up due to some seriously poor choices.not because you are buying a license.

Wow if the deal is great and the break even is quick it is a horrible idea. If the deal is bad and you end up lsoing on the deal all around that's not good either. Now that sounds weird but hear me out. If lots of people buy the lifetime and they all start fishing for free. Then who keeps the system going. DNR runs out of money and there isn't anyone to pay the way left. Now the obvious answer is the legislators will invest the money and it will grow. "BUNK". They will spend it. If they get it all at once they will spend it. And just like every other government run program it will go bankrupt. So I say again if it's a real good deal it's a horrible deal. I actually believe they will have to find a way to add an additional tax to cover ever reduced funding. It just doesn't sound like a logical sustaining plan.

You aren't fishing for free when you buy a lifetime license, you are just paying more upfront. I do agree with you that the government will spend the money.

      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.
