mad hunter

Just a heads up, if u bowhunt or hunt in any of the Bayport wma, keep an eye out for a mad hunter. Word is if u get there b4 he does, he'll slash ur tires n if he's there n u happen to accidently stumble in the area he's at he'll leave early b4 u n slash ur tires. Was said he drives n early to mid '90s150, I didn't catch what color it was.

Have b4, cops say they can't do anything without solid evidence other drive by every now n then. In other words, gotta catch him in the act, which is pretty hard to do when ure in the woods. am tempted to hunt close n within site just to get a phone vid shot of him in the act.

Thanks for the info! Ill have to let my brother know he lives just down the road from there. That is pretty sad. If ya hear anything else let us know. Where did ya get this info from?

I've been bowhunting the south section for over a decade. Some yrs ago, I always see an old model f150 everytime I came back from the morning hunt. The day my tires were slashed, he stopped coming after that. Been yrs, I don't recall the color of the truck. Just a few days ago, a few duck/geese hunters were out hunting in the cut corn field. But the suspected mad man was there first to set up on the edge of the remaining standing corn. The bird hunters not knowing he's there, they set up their decoys n what not as usual, birds flew buy n shots rang out. They said afterwards they see the suspected mad man come out n leave. When they decided to leave, they get to their vehicles only to find flat tires. They can only suspect the only vehicle that was there that isn't there now is the f150. Coincidence that both incidents a f150 was seen, Idk. At this point, we can only suspect. But next time I'll be writing all plates down incase this or other incidents should happen, that way atleast, I have something for the cops to look into.

Makes me think of a story my FIL told me this weekend. They live right next to a WMA and he awoke at 5 am Saturday morning to get ready for work as he was covering for a co-worker who's up north deer hunting. His pickup was parked out front under a halogen light, the kind the electric co-ops put up, and he looked out the window to see some guy crawling under his truck! He goes out and asks him what he's up to and the guy says, oh, just checking to see if it was still warm. I thought someone might have beat me to my spot. I put up a stand down there a few days ago and am headed down to hunt this morning. So they part ways and at about 5:30 am BAM, BAM, BAM. My FIL asks me later, is that legal? It was pitch black out. I told him no, but its also not legal to leave your stand out all week either. We had this conversation Sunday after church and by then the guy was packing up his stand and heading out for the weekend.

    • 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.
