Upcoming meetings


Recommended Posts

"2 meetings coming up. Men and women of ACTION needed to attend. $15 bucks for a burger basket, with proceeds spent 100% locally on local print ad campaigns. (similar to MDDI ads in Outdoor News)

April 29th (Tuesday) America Janes in Cambridge. 6.30 burgers and 7.15 Powerpoint action plan.

April 30th (Wednesday) VFW Little Falls. 6.30 burgers, 7.15 Powerpoint action plan.

In 2015 and 2016, MN will be going through a new round of stakeholder meetings that will determine area deer densities for the next 10 years. We will be reviewing the stakeholder process that is wrapping up in SE MN. An understanding of that process lends direction. We will also be unveiling a plan that will help make the 'hunters perception an 'area reality' in regards to deer numbers.

DNR statistics, habitat capacity, letter writing/email campaigns, deer/vehicle history, ag complaints, hunter surveys, maps, dpsm, affidavits, local newspaper presence, videos, chamber speeches, tourism meetings, and more will be covered in the presentation, and how we use these items to influence the process. Squeeky wheel gets the grease, and we will be organizing the squeek these 2 nights.

Nothing of significance will happen without hunter participation. Please grab a couple friends and show up if you are concerned about the number of deer in the woods and fields of Minnesota. Learn how a little effort can go a long ways. You will leave with a to do list that will impact the future of deer hunting in your area.

And please share this post on MN forums to help spread the word.

Brooks"

Close to 300 "views" of this thread...I'm sure hoping a number of folks who've looked are willing to get involved. MDDI will continue to grow in numbers and relevance in the future. There's a lot to get done. We are hoping to be able to work with every deer group in the state on getting some meaningful, long term changes made.

We're starting in east-central and central MN because those are the areas the "core" group knows the best. Getting folks who are willing to get involved and put some effort into this from other areas will only help us to be more effective. Anybody willing to do so...please get a hold of Brooks, or if you're more comfortable contact me here via p.m.

Checked with Brooks earlier. He's getting plenty of verbal commitments to attend which is fantastic. However, he's not getting many emails asking questions or committing. Just want to encourage folks to get involved, don't assume "the other guys" will do 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.
