Hey guys! Looks like my name was drawn and I got a permit this year! Did any buddy else? 

How many Parks and Deer can you shoot a year?  Didn't you already get two on another park hunt? Not a problem, just asking?

Well thanks for asking leech!!! Well if you look at the DNR page under interactive map!!! The park falls under zone 601!!!! Which is unlimited anterless!!!

 

your right I have shot two anterless deer this year!!! All in a city hunt. so far which are all intensive harvest!  Which is 4 antlerless deer and one buck or 5 antlerless deer! 

 

I am am not going to disclose where or what city I hunt in but a simple search on the DNR page can narrow things down!

 

 So the people that are going to troll me or think I'm breaking the law. I'm not!!

Bahahah, relax son. I'm sure the folks around the cities and burbs love you taking out their shrub eaters.

I was just asking how many Park drawings people can apply for in one year?  I have a very nice Park by my home and may think about drawing for to take out a few shrub rats! ;)

Well I apply to about 4 or so a year... this hunt took me 4 years to draw. I applied to metro bow hunters and didn't get drawn this year.  A lot of city hunts are pretty easy to get in overall. Pay the city 20 bucks get permission to hunt on private land and bam!!! Your in the chips! 

 

I know leech I'm not saying you were trying to troll. Your cool

I applied for about 4 city bow hunts this year and didn't get any, let me in on your hunts lol! I managed to get Crow Hassen last year and got a small doe. You shouldn't have any trouble landing a deer on Murphy. Let us know how it goes for you!

I have been hunting the Murphy Hanrehan hunts since they started doing it about 25 years ago.  I used to see about 20 deer per hunt.  Last year I didn't see any.  I'm not sure what has changed other than lots of Buckthorn now.  In the early hunts they used to have it in the middle of Nov., so I'm sure that helped with all the gun pressure from neighboring properties.  This year will be especially tough since there isn't many acorns. 

Anyway, after the disappointing hunt last year, I decided to stop applying.

My tip for that hunt is have at least 3 spots picked out within close proximity to each other, because there will be hunters everywhere and nobody seems to pay attention to the rule about what time you can enter the park.

Good luck!  Let us know how you do.

I would totally agree with the rule following.  The year we hunted we found cold empty trucks in the parking lot and several hunters who apparently were hunting from the ground as they were only carrying a bow and no stand into the woods. Get there really early

I hunted Murphy for the first time this year. I managed a pretty decent 9 pointer on the opening morning and then didnt see another deer. My uncle managed a doe but overall it was very slow. Sounds like there are fewer and fewer deer seen and harvested every year. Maybe time to let it rebound if it doesnt need to be thinned out. I think that the majority of deer harvested were bucks, mostly small ones.

Congrats!!! I know the area around the park gets hammered with other bow hunters too.  O well it was a nice hunt!

Murphy has been hunted hard and MBRB hunts a property to the east as well. Numbers seem to be going down and city of Burnsville has been cutting the hunt days for MBRB. Sounds like the are is getting closer to goals. 

BTW, Murphy should be becoming an MBRB hunt in 2017 or 2018. Three Rivers has let MBRB take over the draws and hunts for the park hunts.

      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.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
