Thanks to who ever was cleaning out their cabin and put this full body mount with an old futon along hwy 6 above Outing Mn.

The tail was a little ripped up but now we have a new Deer camp mascot!! Just need the Budweiser hat and cigar! grin

You sure it wasn't a DNR Decoy? Just kidding, but did you have to take a second look and turn the vehicle around?

Funny you should say that as there is a DNR HQ right on the other corner of 6 & 48. But not sure the DNR guys throw out a old rug and futon on the side of the road with one of their decoys? wink

We did put this out in the front yard of my buddies cabin after finding it and went back out Bow hunting with out telling his wife. When we came back in we heard the whole story about her walking down to the dock to make a cell phone call not looking up until she was 10 feet from it! shocked

She said that it looked not very happy and she stomped her feet and yelled at it but it just would not go away so she backed up and went back in to the cabin! laugh It was hard not to roll on the floor! laugh

I'd replace that skullplate w/ a forkhorn and use it as a decoy!

Believe me the minds were working on all the things we could have done with it. Decoy, target, set it out by the lake edge and see how many times it got shot during deer camp, hang it on the deer pole and then ride it home in the back of the pickup sticking up if we didn't get any deer this year! Or just make a camp mascot out of it. grin

That thing is awesome. Who would ever throw that out. Wife must have been mad or something. Maybe she had enough and that is why the futon was out there, his hunting stuff was probably already gone.

I know a guy who found a booner in the trash. The mount was in bad shape but he picked up the rack. Figures the husband died and the wife tossed it.

    • 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.
