there are some GIS ones for example lincoln county in South East SD has one online but its a pretty populated county etc, because of Sioux Falls.

What I have found is that most of the rural counties (prime pheasant areas) do not have an online GIS map that I have found.

Also GIS = Geographic Information Services

There is an app for that! its called HUNT by onXmaps. I tried the free trial and that seemed to be a couple years off on landowners around me here in MN. Think the paid version would have more up to date landowners on it. It shows who owns the land and gives an address to where they live in most cases. Something to try out or look into. I'm going to pull the trigger on the MN one. Good luck

He sure did

Actually I believe he asked about the best way to find a land owner to discuss potential hunting arrangements.  I don't believe he asked about your personal opinion on paying for land access.

To answer the original question in the past I have used a combination of plat books, time with boots on the ground talking to people, and some creative googling to find land owner contact info

There called Game farms I'm sure there are a few in your area.  Id'e rather walk for 10 days without a flush than pay to walk another mans land...

Sounds like fun! Hope you enjoy those 10 days walking with no birds as this guy has the time of his life! I suppose you've never paid to sleep in a hotel either when you could easily just sleep in your car at a public wayside rest.

 

Other than whats already been suggested you might just have to knock on some neighboring houses to find out.

Also don't ever be afraid to go to the nearest acreage to the land.  Often times people are intimidated by simply driving up and talking to the local land owners.  You never know, you may just meet someone who is a neighbor but also has property to hunt.  All they can ever say is no.  It's kinda like the lottery, you can't win unless you buy a ticket!

Door knocking is a pretty effective tool.  I've had experiences on both ends of the spectrum but they have all been valuable.  While checking out one piece of property I wanted to deer hunt I knocked on one neighbors door and before I left I had a new friend.  He offered an easier access route through his hunting land, helped us haul stands with his ATV, and showed us where he kept his keys in case we needed to borrow one of the ATVs to haul a deer while he was away.  All of that within 2 hours of meeting the guy.  I knocked on the door of the neighbor on the other side of the property and he basically yelled at us the entire time while threatening us to stay off "his land" (it was actually public land). Both conversations where incredibly valuable.  In one I made a friend who I still keep in touch with even though I haven't hunted that property for 4-5 years and the other I learned where the local wacko lived so I knew who to steer clear of.

      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.
