I'm hoping to have a shot at a mule deer and am looking forward to covering a lot of ground. I am guessing we will be doing spot and stalk. How many days are we looking at, I am all over hunting all week if we need to. Just so you know that week is firearm antelope season so we might have to adjust our hunting accordingly. Minky where are you from, I agree we should all hook up sometime and try to hammer out some details.

Frog,

I live in Brooklyn Park but grew up in Braham, north of Cambridge.

I wonder how much pressure from rifle lope season will put on our muley hunt?

I am still game to go but we may need a whole week of hunting.

I can't put in for vacation yet but will as soon as possible.

Good call on antelope firearm season Frog, the season is tentatively set to open on 10/3, so at least it wouldn't be the opening weekend. I think planning a whole week to hunt would be smart; better to have more time than less.

Frog, how often are you in the Metro? TH, where in the Metro do you live?

I am pretty much wide open on weekends to get together. I am in Apple Valley, so anywhere in the Cities works for me. Perhaps we can set something up for mid February.

I get down there every once and a while, I have a couple friends that live in Lakeville. I was thinking hunting the full week also. I might head out there before rifle season to go antelope hunting and do some scouting, probably just do a long weekend in August or mid September. I have Sat-Mon off usually so let me know when you want to meet up.

Ok great. Sounds like somewhere in the golden valley/SLP/Hopkins area would be central. Could the four of us get together the weekend after next, so 2/7 or 2/8? Or would later in the month be better? Also suggestions on meeting location?

I am free the afternoon of the 7th.

From the postings on here, it sounds like the afternoon on the 7th works for everyone?

Now we just need to pick a meeting place and time.

Should we bring whatever SD maps and other research we have?

I think planning this trip is going be part of the fun!

Yep sounds like the afternoon of 2/7 will work. Frog, why don't you let us know what time you could be down and we can consider it a plan. JJ's sounds good to everyone?

I'd say bring any maps or information you have that you think will be helpful.

minky, I've got a list started that I can bring with. There's some stuff everyone will need to bring, and some stuff that can be used for the group (camp stove, etc) that only one person needs to bring.

I haven't gone on a out-of-state hunting trip, but have done tons of camping trips (short and long ones).

      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.
