Thats true Labs4me.... I suppose hard horn & acorn drop kind of coincide so thats a good explanation of why its tough to put a finger on them. That and I think now they are just wandering around polishing up that fancy new crown theyve got on any random sapling they can find grin

i agree with bear 55, a stud 2 year old. if you look at his belly, its not saging at all. and the skin around his face and neck, there isnt any extra hanging skin. i know i would have one heck of a time passing him up, but the best thing to do would be to let him go another year or two. nice lookin buck though.

This is the buck I want to see this year I call him "shadow" cuz he's only came in in the shadows of the night.

Midwest Whitetails,Bill Winke states, that some bucks are just knockturnal deer and don't show themselves until the peak rut. He goes onto stating to find a killable buck you need to find ones that move consistently during shooting hours and proven on your cameras. This deer got big for being smart and only moving at dark but maybe his habits will change now that we have some cold weather, good luck!

In MN we hunt the toughest deer in the midwest. Highest pressure and few mature animals. I somewhat agree with Mr. Winke but if I only hunted big bucks which i got "daylight" photos of.... I may as well hang up the bow!

There are a few animals I believe which are special and nearly unkillable. But usually its us, the hunter is in the wrong place at the wrong time. Mr. Big is on his feet somewhere.

Slimgrizzly,

I agree and it's like comparing apples to oranges between the two states plus he's got allot of land to work with vs. most of us "average-joes" in MN. In the past 4-5 years I've got many big buck images all at night, never have I gotten even one during shooting times and they maybe a little pressured but if they're on there feet during the day it's more likely unreachable (bedding).

Well SNS you've proven that from last year... grin And I was lucky to harvest a good buck (for my 1st by bow) for never seeing this deer before I shot him.

Just like fishing, there's always fish eating you just need to be there when they do eat. On that note I've been a huge believer in the moon/feeding windows on my In-Fish calendar and the last 3 years starting around the end of September its very consistent but only see young deer in those feeding windows.

    • 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.
