For all of you who are going on the first hunt of the year tomorrow morning, good luck! Sounds like it's going to be a nice cool morning, just what we've all been hoping for.

I'll be in a tree in the metro area hoping for a chance to fill a bonus tag.

Good luck to all, hope you whack the deer of your dreams. I will be staying home until the evening temps cool down.

I have some shooters on camera and they have been there for the past 4 weeks, I am sure they will be there in another week or two as it is private property and the landowner lets noone else in and there are no others woods withing a 1/2 mile or so.

Good luck to everyone who ventures in the woods tomorrow. This will be my 21st archery opener and I still have yet to fire a arrow on a morning hunt. Yes I have drawn the bow but still I have never shot at a deer in the morning. Hopefully I can get hat monkey off my back tomorrow.

"Which is better this time of year for movement, morning or evening."

It depends. : O : ) I think those that tell you not to hunt mornings early season are typically thinking about a field situation where the deer may be eating and spot you if you're walking out in the open. If you're hunting the woods or can access the field stand from the woods, I would go for it. So long as it isn't a well used bedding area. A

Anywhoo, made it out this morning for a short sit because schedule allowed. Come a month from now, I'll start sitting more evenings because schedule will allow and I like sleeping a little later!

Good luck everyone.

Saw 3 bucks and 2 does today. All bucks 1-2 year olds and in full velvet. One doe had some luck on her side and never offered a shot, another doe got a free pass because I like to shoot them much closer to the road. Fun/wet opening day! grin

Saw nothing Saturday morning, rained out Sat night. Went to church Sunday morning, sat last night & saw 6, could have shot 3. One decent doe under 10 yards. The area I was in last night is H/C, so only shooting big horns there. Hope to whack a doe in my money spot Friday night if the strong forecasted NW wind holds for then. Pretty early to know yet.

Congrats to those who wrapped a tag on one!

My buddy and I spent the weekend down south. 22 deer total seen between us, about half were bucks but no big antlered dudes confirmed. I had a 12 yard chip shot at a young 8 but let him go even though I really wanted to fill a tag this weekend.

I drew twice on does both opening morning and this morning but my shooting lane just wasn't big enough to include the extra 5 yards off the trail they were walking. frown

My buddy never made full draw but had a lot of fun. His near full draw on a nice 8 was interrupted by the forkie. smirk

Spent some quality time with the widow landowner and family and did some tree trimming and pressure washing the house. Helping them get needed things done left us feeling as good as getting a tag filled for the opener. smile

      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.
