Always holding and no problem eating tag if I don't see what I like. Shot two nice bucks in 2010, no buck last year and nothing this year so far, love to hunt so I keep on truckin. Lots of time left, planning on some muzzy and late bow as long as there is a tag burning a hole in my pocket.

I have to recheck the freezer, but I'm pretty sure I'm good for the year with the elk I shot (although I only got 2/3 of an elk). As long as I'm covered for the next nine months, I'll hold out until the last minute of the last night of the season in MN and ND. I LOVE hunting late season, but the schedule is starting to look ugly fast...

I'm still holding out. Picked up a new piece of property today. Hoping to get the girlfriend her first opportunity yet this year. Have a 3-4 acre standing corn field that should draw a few deer out during day light if we ever get any cold weather. I'm thinking about a trip down to WhiteWater WMA next weekend to try something new. I have some decent trail cam pics and a small plot of turnips as well that keep me excited at home. This season I hope to not eat my tag but I don't plan to fill my tag with a doe until Christmas or later.

why hunt to say you killed something? I hunt cuz backstraps are tastey, be it buck or doe... :>)

I'm right there with ya. My family loves venison, and I've never been much of a trophy hunter.

Just finished a big batch of summer sausage and have a vennie roast on the smoker right now. Try that with your tag.

I've got a doe tag but no place to use it. Punched my main tag early this year for a change. I've still been sitting once or twice a week, but haven't seen a hair. Cams showing strict nockturnal movement since gun season began, except for a few yearling bucks. Same deal every year. Next year should be excellent with the Nov 9th opener.

I'm right with you on this one SNS, sad that this year isn't even over, but we have already looked at next years season. I don't know about the rest of you, but I feel like this season showed great potential, but then kind of fizzled out. Still have my management tag, going to try and see if I can get one with a ML yet. Passed a lot of nice does, waiting for the perfect shot.

I guess you could say I am holding out. Or should I say I am just not done hunting for the year yet. After writing the checks for taxidermy and the beer sticks I am thinking the wife may be the one to shut me down. Lol

I do have an intensive harvest tag still and plan to get out a few times in area 225 yet this season. Two in the freezer now. That is more than enough meat for my family so if I score another one it will be donated.

I also like the fact that gun season don't start until 11/9/12 next year.

Can't wait until the week before gun opener next year.

I'm sort of still holding out, but not really. I shot my buck, but we were party hunting, so the gun only guys I was hunting with tagged him, my brother actually. I'll hunt a little more, not sure if I'll actually shoot anything or not. Depends on the opportunity, the timing, & the current mood. Wife might string me up if I shoot another mounter this year...

      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.
