I thought I would spark a few stories ! What's your best season ?

Here's my best season I've had .

I would have to say 2008 was my best so far . I bought a new Mathews DXT , it was my first high end bow ! I shot a nice turkey with it opening day of turkey season . Then come fall I shot deer after deer ! Between MN and South Dakota I harvested 6 deer with my bow ! 5 does and a 7 pointer and no fawns ! That all happened before Oct 1 !

That was a fun year of arrows flying ! And a lot of butchering ! Good eating too . I also shot a great 8 pointer with the rifle that season too .

It wasn't just the killing that made it great it was good friends and family and new toys ! I learned a lot that year about bow hunting

This one is tough for me to pick! In 2009 I shot a great 6x5 in the last 15 minutes of light on the last day of the year I could hunt (Dec. 27th). That one was tough to beat.

I shot a nice 6x6 elk in 2007 in the first couple hours of an elk trip. Unbelievable trip and experience. I shot a decent buck that year too.

This year has been wonderful- I took a nice bull in WY and have spent some great time with my kids hunting since. I've put in a huge effort to get my son his first deer since Thanksgiving and we've made some truly great memories in the process. Two days left...

Too many to pick from to just select one...

I would have to say this year has been the best. Me and my brother finally talked our dad into bow hunting and he harvested his first archery deer. Tracking and coming up on that animal will be one that i always remember. The excitement and joy was overwhelming. On top of that i spent many hours in a tree/blind with him in Kansas hoping he would punch another tag, but all i got was to watch him wiff on one grin almost as much fun. Good thing it wasn't a giant.

On top of that i got my five year old out in the blind with me and she loved it. That was a big win for me also.

But if we are talking straight harvest, 2013 hands down: all archery - MN Turkey, yote, MN buck and KS buck (my MN buck was my PB for 11 days until KS).

      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.
