There was Blood Everywhere!

A buddy and I headed up north yesterday to run snowshoe hare.

Temps were a little below freezing with week old crusty snow. The dogs did okay, but there were sure a lot of checks......

We picked up the dogs and were headed to the next spot, when one of my dogs decided it needed to bail out of the truck bed going 15 mph. She cut her ear and man did it bleed! I was able to get it stopped and taped up, but the tape didn't last too long....

At first I thought her e-collar punctured an artery in her neck.....Glad to see it was just a small cut.

It looked like she killed somebody smile

It was my fault for being lazy and not loading them into the dog box.........

Live and learn.........

The crust took its toll on all of the dogs pads, pretty much all of them were bleeding too.

I don't go too crazy gunning hare anymore.

It's like catch and release for the most part (well, run and release anyway smile )

It's nice to let them go to run another day.

I do carry a .410 pistol and pop off a round or two once in a while. A dead hare makes every beagle picture better smile

I had a lab get bit years ago - took a small notch out and it bleed like crazy. Took a few hours to get it to stop. When I brought the dog home the wife thought our dog had killed something. Wish I had pictures. Yellow lab with blood from head to toe.

yep - ear cuts are super nasty.

my yellow lab got a little slice in his ear getting out of the truck one day last winter just as we got out on the ice. he bled like a stuck pig for 3 hours, was trotting around on the ice with blood covering his neck and front leg. didn't want to just go right home and have him bleed all over the truck and house but other people out on the lake that day must have thought I had tried to kill him or something.

glad your dog is ok

    • 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.
