Ask the neighbors if you can shed hunt their land

Unfortunatly the home range of this buck seems to be right in the middle of about a dozen different ten acre parcels.. So ALOT of doorknocking is in my future.

At least I'm the only game in town when it comes to the food department grin, Maybe that will reward me with at least one side.. I hope

Spent the better part of the day on sunday cruising the land. The neighbor has a 5 acre corn food plot he leaves up for the deer. My guess is somewhere between 40 - 50 deer in area. Very easy walking on the cow path deer trails. Didn't find any antlers, but i figured it was probably a touch early. Afterwards I gave him a call and he said he hasn't seen any that have shed yet on his camera's.

Should a guy steer clear of bedding areas in their search right now ? Jumping deer in these conserving energy by the deer kind of days ? I realize the deer are in good shape I think in most areas and snow depth is a big factor with temps, but that snow we have isn't deep but it's hard as a rock since that rain and some melt. Should a guy wait to sweep through the bedding areas when things moderate some ? Also those using dogs to search, we know how deer love dogs, should they be left at home if you're going to scour near their bedding sights ?

Got a new hotspot and the guy said he had a shed buck in his yard a few days ago in East Central MN. Those deer are traveling at least a mile to get to his "turkey" feeder(s). So I have at least 7/8 of a mile to scour and that should be a good enough jaunt until the weather moderates, good luck guys and hope to add some shed pics soon.

      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.
