I have been running my cams for a couple of weeks now, just haven't checked them yet. The older bucks will be showing plenty of velvet by now, most likely out past their ears and tines starting to shoot up.

this guy last year was a 140's 14 pointer, 6x6 typ mainframe with split g2's. I had high hopes for him this year but it dosen't look like he's getting any bigger, still a 16" spread, 3" brows and average mass. I only seen him once last year the last 10 minutes of rifle season, other than that i only have pictures of him in the dark.

Ive gotten pictures of 11 different bucks in my section in the last 2 weeks at the mineral sites. A few have decent growth. I pulled a cam yesterday and have a nice split brow tine buck that I watched all last season. Hes been the only one ive recognized from last year but im sure others will ring a bell once they grow a little more.

Its interesting.... this nicer split brow-tine buck is a little behind some of the other better bucks. He was, by about a month, the last to shed. I wonder if his late shedding date has resulted in a bit of a delay in growth? I guess I always figured by mid-may they were all on an even growth pattern but maybe thats not the case? At the end of summer, I think it all ends up the same but it seemed like something worth pointing out.

What do you guys think? A) First to shed means earliest to start growing? or B) The antlers are basically dormant over winter and photoperiodism allows all the bucks start growth at the same time?

I guess Ive always thought "B".

I think these deer kind of dance to their own genetic tune. Some drop them early and late and growth is probably similar. I have pics of bucks that have a lot of velvet by early July and don't grow much after that. Other bucks were adding inches into August.

We have been getting photos of bucks but it seems like they are a little behind on antler growth this year. We have talked about the late spring and the bucks not able to put as much into antler growth. Just a thought.

This is a very real possibility. In the past I have noticed a summer with normal temps and a lot of rain = more antler growth. If we don't get the rain the deer can be stunted a little. The same could be true for the cool start to the summer, less plant growth means less food so everything could be behind a little. No facts to back this up, just guesswork and past observations.

Here is an interesting buck I got a pic of last year. This was the only picture we got of this deer. I am anxious to get the cameras out. Just curious... Do you think rack is the product of genetics or the deer was injured?

It looks like it might be genetics, both antlers look a little goofy. Some of the times with injuries they only affect one antler. It would be cool to see what he looks like this year.

      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.
