I just received my acceptence letter to hunt the Crow Hassen Park special bowhunt in St Michael November 11th-13th. I've never done this before, and would like some tips from people who have. I'm an experienced bowhunter, but am curious about crowded woods, deer sightings, etc. I would actually like a PM or email sent instead of posting here, thanks. [email protected]

Myself and a hunting buddy applied last year for the first time, and were denied. But we got picked this year and I'm really looking forward to it. I fish the Crow alot back in the park, so I'm pretty familiar with the land. I'll be sure to let everyone know the results of the hunt.

Had a buddy and his brother hunt the Elm Creek park up by Osseo a few years back. He shot a doe and his brother ended up taking a 120ish 8 pointer. Said it was fun and saw quite a few deer too. I have shed hunt in that park along with some others and there is defiently some big bucks in them!

Here is a buck from French Park

Seen 4 deer yesterday, a huge 10 40yds away couldnt get a shot, passed on a decent 7, seen 4 deer today also, what would be a big 8 (only had one antler), a spike buck and 2 deer walked under my stand way before shooting light. I tell you what the woods around me sounds like a race track in the morning before first light, bucks grunting, running all over the place, chasing does around i assume.

I applied for this hunt this year, but was not drawn. Since I live in the area, I definitely plan to apply again. What's it like out there in regard to other hunters? Is it tough to find good areas to hunt without stomping around an area that another hunter is using?

TProGuy, just make sure you scout out a few areas before the hunt weekend. Have a plan A,B,C in case some areas are too crowded for your taste. This was my first year, and it actually wasn't as crowded as I thought it was going to be. On Friday I had another hunter set up about 60 yards from me, but I still shot a doe that day. Saturday we had the spot to ourselves, and then again today there was a guy about 80 yards away. Seen a doe this morning but that was it.

Thanks for the info. I knew that there was a large part of the park that was grassland, but wasn't sure if any areas were off limits. Looking forward to hopefully getting drawn next year, as even though it is just one weekend, it would be awesome to have a place close to home to hunt for a few days.

      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.

      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.
