So this year I told my wife that I was going to take my son out hunting with me... He's one of those energetic kids who has an incredibly hard time sitting still and all my wife can say is "good luck" (very sarcastically)... So I had my fingers crossed and I figured with enough snacks and batteries in his leapster we would give it a shot... So last week we went out and didn't see a thing but the thing was he didn't care at all... It was so fun to see him perk up in his chair everytime a twig would snap or a bluejay would squak away... So we had a great time but I was disappointed that we got the old skunkaroo

This year has been slow since opener when I was able to see 15 deer but since then notta thing... Today me and the boys snuck up to Wisconsin so I could get a quick evening sit in the woods plus I figured sooner or later I would finally see a deer since they are on the camera everyday (but never out there when I am sitting)... So the night progressed and wouldnt you know it saw 4 does and was able to get a shot on a nice 3 1/2 year old doe... I thought since my kid wasn't able to go out with me id let him tag along and help me recover the deer... It was funny watching him try to walk through the tall grass and deadfalls but he took them like a champ and sure enough in no time we were able to find the deer... He was so excited to be able to help me out and it sure was a proud day for me too

My year and a half old son is absolutely obsessed with deer and the mounts that we have... Everytime we watch a hunting show and someone shoots a deer he yells "gott'em"... So when we brought the deer home to show my little one he got so excited and started petting the deer and poking his eyes (kind of a funny combination) but I got a kick out of it

This is probably one of the best days I have had in a while and am lucky I got to experience it with my kids... Now I just gotta wait til they are old enough to shoot something smile ... Here is my proud moment from last year when my kids celebrated my kill

That's grest. My 5 year old son is just getting into it. Henhas really shown an interest in the last year for hunting and fishing. It is a great thing for a dad to be able to pass on the tradition to kids. Congrats on the doe also. Thanks for sharing.

Thats great! Start em now and you will have hunting partners for a long time. If they are excited now, how excited do you think they will be when they get to be behind the bow? My girlfriends son is asking me to take him out, and I hopefully will get him out before the end of the season.

      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.
