I have been watch ing this fella for a while now. I think hes a 4 1/2 year old but he may only be a 3 1/2. He scored in the upper 120's last year. Hes a pretty good buck for my area and I dont think hes gonna get by me if he gives me the chance.

I got more pics on the 5th and hes already getting nice and polished up!

Very cool pics indeed. Must have been fun seeing them on the cam for the first time. Just like you were saying... How often do you get all that in one evening. I am going to guess and say almost never. Thanks for sharing and showing us how fast the process can be.

First off, great pictures!

Second, and I'm sure I'll get ripped for this, but I would try and pass on both of those deer this year. I said TRY (so don't rip me too much). But they both look like they have yet to hit their prime and like they have incredible potential. I don't think either of those deer are older than 3.5 based on their body composition.

Have fun out there this fall.

I'd have to agree they both kind of look like 3.5's to me. I would still arrow the bigger one but if he lived until next season I wouldnl't be upset about it.

Ya I wont shoot the smaller one. Im quite sure hes only a 2 1/2.

If the bigger one is standing in front of me at 15 yards theres no way in HE-Double hockeysticks, that I will be able to pass on him. I wont be upset a bit to see him live to next year.... but I simply haven't killed enough big deer to have the self discipline to pass on a buck like that. Im not saying hes huge, im confident he'll grow immensely in the next year or two. Hes just too big for me to let go. I have a few others in my sights that I would be equaly or more happy with than this fella. So there are options... seeing one in the first place is going to be the tough part! wink

Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone! I hope something works out!! Im confident.

      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

      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.
