Decided that it looked like the weather was gonna break, so I headed out to the stand bout 330. Was pretty slow until about 6. All of a sudden on the other side of the little stands of pine trees on the field edge, two bucks start going at it. Maybe only lasted 30 seconds, but it was LOUD. Grabbed my bow and got ready if they came down the main trail. NOPE.....first buck walked out into the field. Grabbed my binos and looked. Really nice buck. Easily in the 130-140 range. Ranged him at 104. Have quite a few trail cam pics of him, and believed him to be the biggest buck in the area. Grunted a couple of times and he showed some interest, but kept looking back. Finally walked up the field and went back into the woods about 100 yards behind me. Then the second buck walked out into the field. I could tell without binos he was big. Ranged him quick at 82 yards. Looked through the binos and he wasn't big, but huge. 3-4 inches outside his ears, heavy heavy 8 point. Grunted at him and he moved a little closer, but not much. Started walking up the field on the same line as the other buck. Waited until there was some good cover between myself and him and let out a loud snort wheeze. That got him! He starts coming back my way looking. Got to about 40 yards......I have a hole to shoot through at 32. All of a sudden he stops dead in his tracks and looks back. The other smaller buck comes out of the woods and back into the field. Big buck takes one look at him and takes off chasing him across the field and out into the river bottom. Last I seen of them. Even tho I didn't get to pull the release on the big boy, it was incredible. That's why I love bow hunting....what a rush!!!!! Give the stand a few days rest and will try it again!

That is cool that you got to see them fighting a little. I also this last week seen the biggest buck of my life. Guessing he would score 150 to 160 and he was with a smaller buck that would score 130 to 140 I'm guessing. The rush from seeing big deer like that is unexplainable. Hope you get a crack at that big one!!!

I have to get a decoy one of these years. That would have probably worked for you in this situation. My buddy shot a monster 10 three years ago after he grunted him in to the decoy. Just like the t.v. shows, hair standing up, ears pinned back, coming in for a fight. That would be a rush. BC

Stick......here is the stand I was in last night. The bucks came out of the lil pines and went behind the lone single tree on the left. That tree is 62 yards from my stand. The bucks walked to the left out into the CRP field, but its WIDE open. My stand is on the edge of the woodline next to the field. The big boy walked out into the field then circled around down wind of me and was coming in along the edge of the field/woodline when the smaller buck came out and they took off. I will be sitting back out there tomorrow night after work!!!!

      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.
