Taking my daughter up to Ripley for the youth hunt this weekend. I believe it is north of Cassino road that is open. I have never hunted this end of Ripley before. Any suggestions on where we should focus our hunt? She is of course pumped to go and has never had a shot at a deer so I am hoping to find a spot with some numbers. Thanks

Yes it is north of Casino Road. Same area that we are hunting this week for the deployed soldiers hunt. Even tho its the northern 1/3 of Ripley, its still a mighty big area. But suggestion right now is to get down range, scout for green grass and water. Thats gonna be your best bet

T-4 and counting. It’s getting hard to sleep at night Its only going to get worse the closer we get! The weather is really shaping up Nice . I was going through the Data from last years Adult Hunts. Pretty Impressive Adult Buck Harvest Numbers. You Don’t want people giving you Specifics On here anyways GP. You would be surrounded On Friday Trying to Scout a spot out. Thank You Musky For your Service to Our Country. Its Great They do this Hunt for you Guys- How Many Vets do they Allow in For your Hunt ? I have to admit I was a little disappointed at first there was a group that got to hunt right before the Kids Until I saw who the Group was. Well Deserved is a huge Understatement.

Is the youth hunt like the regular hunt in that you bring a camper with to sleep in?

Is it usually North Casino Rd? My dad and I used to hunt up around Casino and Pusan when we went.

You can bring a camper to sleep in or they offer the barracks, which is what we are opting to do.

I do believe that they limit you to the north end above Casino Rd, but this is our first year doing the youth hunt, so I'm not sure about that one.

This cold weather that they are forecasting should hopefully get the deer moving.

Thanks guys.

Let me know how it goes. My dad and I kind of gave up based on some experiences and gave up on the place. Too many hunters, waste hunt on scouting new area. Show up next time and military has clear cut the area we scouted....... Repeat! The years prior to that though I had some great hunts up there.

I think it would be a blast to take my son up with a much smaller group of hunters and concentrate on his hunt.

Sound like the weather should be good, so good luck to all!

Post some pics if you get a chance!

      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.

      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.
