A guy I work with was out pheasant hunting this past weekend. A buddy of his takes a tumble, and the end of his gun gets packed with dirt. So what is the first thing you would do? Well 99.9% of us who have a brain in our heads, would unload our guns, clean out the barrel, and make sure the gun was safe to use. Well not this guy, the first thing he did point the gun out in front of him and pull the trigger. Before I say anymore I will tell you that he is just fine and is VERY LUCKY not to have gotten himself or anyone else hurt of killed. So this one-who-thinks-I-am-silly fills his barrel full of dirt and pulls the trigger. So what happens next? Now I am sure that all of you have seen one of the many Looney Tunes, where Bugs Bunny sticks a carrot in the end of Elmer Fudd's gun. As you can imagine the dirt acts very much like the carrot. The end of his barrel is peeled open just like in the cartoons. This is one guy that is on my list of people never hunt with. I beleive that his buddies have also given him a new nickname "Dumb***", and that is exactly what he is. Happy hunting eveyone and watch out for people like this.

I do have a picture of the guy holding his blown up gun if anyone could help me post it, or would like to see it via email.


Good luck and be safe

Here is more information. The gun is a Rem 1100, the guy I got the photo from did not know the load he was using. He did say that he was about 30 ft away, and the gun made kind of dull pop bang sound. Then a hunk of grass, dirt and shot went flying out. I still can't beleive no one got hurt.

Some people should not be allowed to reproduce. We just saw an example. A few years ago, I saw a shotgun barrel that some guy shot a home-made buckshot load. Instead of lead shot, he used steel ball bearings. He only did it once.

      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.
