Leaving in the moring for Ontario and my first spring bear hunt. By the conversation with the outfitter it should be a great hunt with the three of us with tags. I will try and take lots of pictures to get your blood boiling for this fall.

Well the three of us made it home safe and had a blast on our first spring bear hunt. The outfitter knows his stuff and even though it is a very rustic bear camp and rained everyday it was a fun hunt and we are already booking for spring 2017. And did we see bears,they have bears like we have deer down here.

If you look to the right of the tipped over barrel and almost on the roots of the dug out tree you will see a easton axis tipped with a 3 blade rage covered in blood. This area has not been hunted in 8 years and it proved to have a lot of big mature boars.

That would be a blast.  Beautiful looking country.  Does the guide take care of the bear and butchering for you too?

He did help us with the skinning and quartering but we also had 5 bears down that night

Pats bear,his hunt lasted 11 minutes from the time the guide gave him the thumbs that he was done baiting and it was dead. He actually passed a smaller one that came in as the guide was still in sight.

My hunt lasted 3.5 hrs in the monsoon rain storm. The bait I was hunting was the farthest into the middle of nowhere as you can get about 20 miles from camp.   The bear I harvested came in at 5:40.  He walked right into the bait barrel and layed down to eat some crunched up doughnut behind the barrel offering no shot.  Once he was done with that he sat up and hugged the barrel with one paw tipping the top of it to his mouth. As the cake frosting slid down to his mouth he was carefull not to spill and as he lapped it up. As he was sitting with his on side leg up and forward I drew the Prodigy hit my anchor and put the pin right behind his shoulder. However I didn't like that he was slightly towards me so I let down and waited for another shot. Next he tipped the barrel over layed back down reached in grabbing one doughnut he takes one bite stands up and walks away never giving me a shot. 

After the bear left I stood up changed my thermocell pad and grabbed a couple snacks because I knew it wouldn't be long before another bear came in.  I sit down eat my peanut M&M's while the rain starts coming down really hard. So I pull on my rain hood and hunker down close my eyes and try to take a nap. As I sat there I was startled out of my little daze by the sound of huge heavy breathes. I open my eyes and as everything comes into focus I can see a huge bear through my stand platform. My stand wasn't even 10 foot up so as he walked towards the bait I quietly grabbed my bow and prepared for the first avaliable shot. The bear was now at 7 to 8 yards and quartering away,as I started drawing he caught my movement and turned a little opening up his on side shoulder. Once I hit full draw I made sure of my anchor point and centered my sight housing in my peep then put my pin behind his shoulder where it will exit through his arm pit on his off side. As my thumb takes the slack on the release the bow goes off and I watch my yellow and white vanes disappear perfect behind his shoulder.  He takes 4 big bounds and starts to slow down then he stops looking back at the bait and I can see his legs starting to give out. He tries to run again but tips over and expires within 25 yards from the shot right next to the trail in the direction of the wheeler.

They were all really nice bears. No scale in camp however the 2 guys we brought with have taken over 40 bears and all the dead bears the outfitter sees. The general conservative opinion was Pats was around 285 mine 360 -380 And Carls at 430 to 450.

      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.
