Chasing birds during the rifle season

Put blaze orange on your dog.

If the area is occupied by a large number of hunters ... a deer drive ... move somewhere else. Deer drives result in a good share of injuries and fatalities in MN and this is typically people in the same party.

If the area is occupied by a single vehicle and you see the guy out there on the stand ... it become a "your call situation".

Most prairie deer hunters take mid-day off from stands. Get to a good WPA or WMA before them in the afternoon so you have "first rights". If the guy still goes to his stand ... then he knows the situation.

If a big group shows up and "muscles you out" ... probably best to move on.

I love my bird hunting but it is something I will NEVER do again during the gun season. Muzzleloader is one thing, but not regular firearm.

After having several slugs fly over our heads because these knuckleheads jumped out of their truck when they saw us pushing a swamp, stood ON the road and we kicked up a fawn, all 5 of them started blasting RIGHT AT US!!!

That was it. Never again. No amount of orange can cure stupid.

If you go, go where no one else is and stay far far away from anyone.

We were on our way back to the truck when this happened.

I've seen a few guys out chasing roosters during firearms season. I see no problem with it. Heck, if anything you might kick up a deer for the guy sitting in the tree.

The other 99% of the time you are just going to tick that guy off. smile

It's legal, it's your right, and it's your call, but I sure wouldn't want to mess around with a dog in the woods in an area known to hold deer hunters. Them being there doesn't affect your bird hunting, but your dog's scent being their sure messes with their deer hunting, and it's bound to lead to some arguments/confrontations.

You'll be fine. I duck hunt and pheasant hunt all deer season and never have a problem. I shot my limit of roosters yesterday in a spot guys just finished driving for deer. I went out today and got 1 rooster as well.

In the prairie region deer hunters see a patch of woods and congregate to it like flies to... you know. Allot of great pheasant land is void of deer hunters. All I do is hunt land people aren't deer hunting. If you go to public land and there's a truck you can guarantee he's in the patch of trees on the land. Just stay away from that area. I go to my spots and if deer hunters are there I go elsewhere.

I'm with Eric on this one, it is public land and although deer hunting is sacred in MN there is plenty of space here in MN. People are going to be mad but if you kick up that trophy buck and they bag it they will be thankfull.....

      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

      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.
