I hunt a public piece of land down the road from there since opener. Seen some does, but not in shooting range. They seemed to be spooked easily. Was driving through there last friday and saw three does standing at the edge of the corn field. I stopped to watch them for a bit. We are having problems with figuring them out on public too. Not very much wooded areas down there, mostly fields. This is our first time hunting down there. Get out as much as possible. I'm not a pro. I learn from trial and error. I've seen deer there. Good luck.

Klee,

I have definetely seen deer there NO BUCKS yet only does and fawns/yearlings but always on the edge of the road and after I leave or while I am going in. Maybe I am just going to hunt as near to the road as I legally can because they are either going into the roads or out of the roads into the woodlines around dusk and dawn so that would be our best option. Yeah hard to pattern them they are very spooked and they do not hesitate to run away unlike other deer.

Good Luck I drive a blud dodge ram if you ever see me out there

Take Care,

David

David,

I hunted it last year and saw the biggest buck of my life (never got within 150yds of me). I hunted the area on the north side, had to use the key to open the gate. Then I went west of the parking area, second bean field back in the corner (close to the gun club). Seen the buck 3 mornings but could not get a shot off. Good luck.

Does that WMA get hit hard during gun?

Yup, so many gun hunters out there during the weekend. I think that's why the deer are not coming out during the day. We can here them moving in the evenings or early before sun up. Mostly open fields, so not much wooded area to work with or hang a stand.

Ya I scouted the WMA in April of last year and again this summer. It's very thick in there and I didn't find anyplace to hang a stand. A ground blind would work well, but if it's crawling with orange it'll still be tough.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.
