This might be early to start talking about, but I am all ready excited for next weekend. Looks like we will have cold and some snow on the ground, maybe a lot. Deer will have had about 5 days to acclimate to the snow. So what is everyone's plan? I really didn't see any major rutting behaviors going on this last weekend for the opener so Iam hoping to catch a rut crazy day this coming one. Have a doe on the ground between my son and I so we are looking for Mr. big now. What's everyone's plans for second weekend? I'm planning on sitting on the stand I saw some does passing through an area about 40 yards out with a big freshly worked scrape by.

I too am excited for next weekend. Been a long time since I hunted with any significant snow on the ground. Actually I have shot more turkeys in the snow than deer(2 vs 0).

I will head to my typical ridge that seems to produce every last sunday of season.

Bryan,

Small world! Not sure I've seen anyone else from New Prague on here. But yes...I'm jacked for next weekend. Couldn't make opening weekend happen this year so we are going next weekend. Probably the first opener I've missed in 10 years, and I've got the itch to get out!! Headed to 179 Friday after work for a three day hunt. Fingers are crossed for a nice buck, but I know it'll be fun regardless.

Another day and a half and back up to the hunting land. Not sure I can make it outside all day with a real feel temp of zero around Mora on Satuday. Going to shoot for three sits. 6:30-9:30, 12:30-2:30, 3:30-5:00. Hoping that's the secret formula for a good day. I heard my area got about 15" of snow. I have a couple ladder stands up but am hoping to sit in the ground blind. Only worry is the roof getting collapsed from the snow, it's a hub blind. Will find out in less than 36 hours smile.

Oooo, better not put all your eggs in that basket. With 15" of snow, there's little chance that's still standing. Good luck!

      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.
