You guys are plain SILLY!! crazylaugh The day I see a guy on a ladder, bowhunting in the middle of a cornfield..... ill be stopping in the center of the road and taking pictures!!!

I guess people probably do crazier things and get deer.... thats thinking OUTSIDE the box! I wanna see YOU GUYS do it and show us the video! grin

I'm being 100% honest it work's. I have also shot them while in haylofts and silos. Heck I have dug pit blinds where I cant find the right tree and had that pay off for me. Call me silly but it works for me,of course I dont think like a sheep and follow the heard. 2c

Not to hijack this thread but I like the idea of a pit blind. I've been thinking about that behind our house too. Primo trail to bedding area going through the woods back there with no real good trees and cover. But I could make my own dugout into the side of the hill. I like unconventional tactics. I sat on a bucket behind our garbage bin in the woods a few times this year and had does cruise right past me.

Cost is low, Setup in 1-2 minutes...Very effective cover.

Garden fencing posts with leaf cut camo zip tied to posts. Roll it up, strap it to the back pack. Weight ~1#. Been using this method for 4 years now. I usually use two of these to create a bigger blind. Toss a rotating chair in the middle - your good to go. 4' high. Toss some natural cover on it if available.

Or you can dig a pit.

I like it. I wouldn't dig a pit on public land, but I do have a spot behind the house like I said that would be permanent. The deer use the trail all year, every year the 8 years we've been there, from one bedding area to another. So I was thinking more along the lines of digging just a few feet down into the side of the hill and using scrap lumber and plywood to make a make a 6x6 hut sunk slightly into the ground/side of the hill. Then I'd cover it all up with logs and branches to make it look like a deadfall. I want something fairly enclosed so I can use a heater later season. Versus wearing my goose hunting overalls and parka and nearly tearing my arm out of my socket drawing back like I did on a doe in -15 weather the season before last.

      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.
