Just read a disturbing story that happened near Mapleton, MN. Please read the story below and if you know something, DO THE RIGHT THING AND TURN THEM IN!

If anyone recognizes the truck in the first photo please let me or the MN DNR know, the DNR tip-line is (800) 652-9093. Some hunters came into my yard right past no trespassing signs and shot a deer...7 miles east of Mapleton MN. I can't say for sure if the deer entered my yard injured or not but it appears the first 3 shots were fired from the edge of the road, there was no blood on the road or ditch...it started in my yard. The last shot that they finished the deer off with was 15' away from the front of my house and the office my wife was working in...aiming directly in the direction of my neighbors house who happens to have a young child. They never came to the door to seek permission or to explain/apologize for their actions, they loaded the deer in our driveway quickly and left.These guys knew what they were doing was wrong and left a mess of blood and a shell casing in my yard. My wife is very upset about his as am I and these guys need to be dealt with by the authorities or they'll do it again and cold possibly kill someone.

Thanks everyone.

Probably a low pixel phone camera, could be tough getting the plate #. However, I would think that the sheriff could figure out how many late model solver dodge trucks are in the area, and how many of those owners have a deer license, and go from there. That picture should give them enough info to narrow it down to a handful of people.

On a side note to this, don't want to side track your post. I sent off a photo to my local CO she knew who it was instantly, did a great job. But, I think it would be cool for HSO to have a thread on trespassing photos, might deter it if they knew they could pop up on a web site and later be identified.

Low pixal phone, already cropped the wrong way, and downsized for the net.

So, has the person been identified then? I would think that they broke at least 2 laws when they did this. It is disappointing to see that some would do this for a deer. I can't imagine shooting into a field, much less shooting into someone's homestead. It's a bummer, we don't need people like this in the field.

I would think with the original photo, not the uploaded version, this could be somewhat easily be cleaned up.

I tried for about 3 minutes and I was able to clearly make out an "E" or "F" in there second to last letter. I have some software we use here at work and it does a fairly decent job.

I have a feeling with some real good software this would be easy as heck. I am sure that is the new style plates with the flat letters. Those are highly reflective so that squads can pick them up at night easier.

Here's another one of the photos the homeowner posted.

I'm not certain as to what Law Enforcement agencies were called. I do believe they were cell phone pics.

Another person had enhanced the pics and came up with 4 possible license plate numbers. It sounds pretty certain it's a MN plate.

I would bet any money they may have wounded it some where near by and seen it come over to their land. I would be checking with the neighboring farms that had land next to them to see if maybe it wasn't part of their hunting crew chasing it down? Guy's do crazy things for a deer they nicked! confused

From what I have read so far, the deer was wounded. The hunter is known by the property owner.

Irregardless, a simple knock on the door would have alleviated all of these problems. Now someone is more than likely going to be cited for a few offenses.

I didn't know this until today but the property owner was someone I worked with back in the 90's.

      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.
