your only chance is to do the informant thing where you aren't identified.  I wouldn't even call TIP but just talk a CO into a private visit and have the info  for him.  Reality is what you typed when you live in the same place as those people.  You "rat" on em and you end up paying for it or your kids.

They won't get pinched but if my wife got a visit from the CO she wouldn't be buying a license next year.

Maybe I'm just an Unusual member of a party hunting group.  We have 5 in our group,   All family from brothers to son-inlaws.  We all have our own licenses.  We have hunted together for years.  We have never had tags outside our own.  No wife's tags or anything else.    What we do is legal and has always been as far as I know.  We share everything that is harvested and have been doing that also for many years.  We hunt in area 180 and to the best of my knowledge have never filled all of our tags.  We will continue this tradition for years to come as long as it's legal.  Our number one reason for being at deer camp is to be there.  To be there.  Just to be there and enjoy the outdoors and hang out.  Getting deer is a bonus.  One year in our area, we could get up to 5 tags.  We only got our licence and no additional tags.   Following the law is very important to us, especially where we hunt.

 

We don't have the numbers in general like in Central and Southern parts of the state.  We don't shoot yearlings.  We will make it an exception however when my nephews son comes to hunt next year.  My first deer was a yearling and it was a great thrill but over time I was convinced to let them grow a bit.  Kind of like releasing my first large walleye when I was young.  Man that was hard but after watching her swim away I felt real good about it and have been doing it ever since.  I understand this isn't for everyone and I can appreciate that.  I read the whole thread.  Some of the stories about 7 wives and 7 tags do concern me.  That is a horrible example of hunting ethics.  That is not a definition of hunting,   Even when we first came to this country and were dirt poor, we followed the law.  It was wild game [when in season] and fish that we depended on for meals for a few years until we got on our feet.  

We don't make drives.  I don't like shooting at running deer for any reason.  Don't like wounding a deer and shooting on the run increases that plus creates danger to other hunters around you.  That's just me, some like it.  I actually walk through the woods at time very slowly, step by step, stop and take two steps and stop to listen and observe.  However most of the time these days I sit in a stand.  My favorite time of the year.  Just love being there.  Hope to hunt until they wheel me in there in some blind in my later years.  good luck

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
