It is classroom,(equipment, ethics, hunting tactics, scents, calling, etc.) along with some outdoor activities: Blood trailing, yardage estimation, treestand safety.

There is time after class for shooting at either our indoor or outdoor range, so bring your bow.

Would I be able to get my certificate by taking just this class, or would I still need to complete the online class portion? Thanks

Nope, this is all you need. If you take the online class, you still need to take an outdoor "field day" which will be hard to find. This is one of the only one-day classes available for the certificate.

This sounds like a great class, I wish it was a little closer to me, I would forsure be taking it. Maybe next time.

We routinely have people come from Duluth and Rochester and....just to finish in one day, so they can participate in their metro hunts. Henderson isn't all that far.

Does anyone know why there are so few of these classes? I've been trying to get my certification for 3 years now to be able to hunt inside the city limits and unfortunately I have had conflicts each year with the one class they offer in my area. I was amazed that they only offer one a year. I know some will say that if it was really important to me I'd find a way to get to the class but it's frustrating that the opportunities are so limited. It seems like it's much more difficult/time consuming than it should be?

Sorry for the vent.

Thanks for the info Don, but unfortunately it's another one that I can't make.

I'll tell you why we only have one a year. We're volunteers. It takes the better part of a week to set this up and take it down. It's a lot of planning and a lot of work. There are no paid DNR employees giving these classes.

I give up one full weekend of ice fishing (or family activities, or...)to give some of you a chance to be able to hunt out of state or the metro hunts that require it. I'm sorry you can't take the time for this, but I'm not giving up another weekend to fit your schedule.

DonBo,

I am signed up for the class.

Will it be all an indoor/ classroom type of deal or will there be some outdoor stuff?

Is there shootting involved?

Just wondering what to prepare for and expect.

Again, thanks for putting in your time and effort to put this on.

      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.
