I'd bring a game cart over an ATV. Nice area with some elevation changes and logged area. Probably good to spend a weekend finding a spot that isn't already "taken." Don't want to have the sun come up and see three orange guys sitting within 100 yards of you.

Leechlake is spot on. Scouting an area is a great idea. About 5 years ago I crawled in my stand and as soon as sun up I was looking at another hunter about 150 yards behind me... For some reason he keeps coming back and sits in the same spot... I have never heard him shoot on opening weekend but I have been lucky enough to shoot a deer 4 out of the 5 years he has been sitting there..

we hunt there too; alot of guys, i'm glad the ATV's are being limited out there, seems like alot of them are obeying the rules;

NEUT, the area we are in we run into a "st cloud" bunch every once in awhile, 4-5 guys with 1 or 2 younger kids, not you is it?

another st cloud bunch, theres got to be a dozen or so guys with a couple of campers

Jmnhunter,

Nope that's not us. Just 2 of us that camp but there are 6 others from St Cloud that hunt same area as us.. They all have cabins up in the area but they still hunt there. We pull the fish house up with us and camp off of CR-91 near Trout Lake RD... The guy I go up with has been hunting the same area since the early 80's when he was a kid.. What area you in?

You must be talking about the group that camps just east of the refuge line on the east side. I have been hunting off and on in that area for 30+ years. Some of those guys spend allot of time in there trucks circling the refuge and even thru it. They have been camping and hunting that area for many years. They used to camp at bass lake but moved just down the road. They hit it hard at muzzy time to.

Not good for us... Nice 6 point and a doe for the 6 of us. Windy and snow flurries all day. Had a 6 pointer about 45 yards from me at 7am on Sat but just didn't have a clean shot. Walking out to my stand on Sunday morning I ran across fresh wolf tracks in the snow.. Probably about 100 yards from my stand. Not what I wanted to see. Will be heading up again Friday to see if our luck has changed.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
