we dropped bait for the first time today and will check on Saturday, so it remains to be seen. We put signs up and checked all our sites last week, but we usually don't bait the first weekend. Hope to see a few hit by the weekend!

Start baiting on Saturday. Plan on stealing a bear instead of feeding them for weeks and having them stolen from me this year. Got the secret recipe ready to go! I love baiting, so its been hard to hold off, but i'm confident it will pay off with some hits.

Yea, that's the attitude to have....blows my mind when people do that and see absolutely nothing wrong with that. Had one fella say "walked in and seen your bait was getting hit good so figured this was a good area to bait" As the crow flies he put his bait only 523 feet from mine, according to my GPS.

Oh checked last night, 3 baits not hits. But I did hit the blueberry patch. Some are starting to dry up now. Hopefully get a hit by the weekend. Last year we had 12 baits out and only 1 was hit before labor day. To many berries last year and the same deal this year.

I understand completely how Coldtrack thought what he did based on my poor choice of words. Words are powerful and I should be more careful with them! I certainly would never bait near someone else intentionally and the very idea of it turns my stomach. Just changing it up this year a bit, with a different approach timing-wise. I would prefer to see no bears than to screw up anothers hunt, if the truth be told! Thanks for clarifying my intentions guys, I appreciate that. Peace and bears!

Sorry, guess I haven't been on here long enough to know the type of person you are, just reacted to what I read.

Only one hit today on the baits, nice bear pushing 300 now if he will come back that would be great.

Still a lot of blueberries and a ton of chokecherries in the woods, I see the coon are working over the oak that are producing.

No harm Coldtrack. You came to the right place. Guys here are solid and informative. I don't see the bickering here, basically everyone is a bear guy, which I think automatically makes them cool. Great to hear that you got a solid bear going today! Berries are killing us again this year, I got em all over my spot too. Good luck and keep posting your results with that nice bear.

    • 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.
