I know it's not officially off season yet, but what are you doing this off season?  LOL.  Besides spending too much time in a hockey arena, I've already bought a "new to me" bow, an Elite GT500 to back up the Elite Synergy I bought last winter.  Couldn't pass it up at $250.  Can't wait to get it and put a few arrows through it.  Other than that I will occasionally shoot out in the shed and hopelessly anticipate and dream about my IA hunt next fall (we already have our cabin reserved).

With some recent news I got, I'm going to start looking into a 2017 trip back to the Arctic Circle in AK.  I have some unfinished business up there, including a couple check boxes on my bucket list.

 

I'd like a moose with my bow and a sheefish out of the Noatak.

Geez, you should try and take an adventure sometime!!:grin:

 

My "plan" is to practice and shoot MUCH more than the past few years.  I have two frozen shoulders, so I need to keep them operating properly.

I also have a lot work ahead to secure some new hunting spots, as it seems someone must have advertised how good my land was, so everyone bought it up the past two years.

Of course, this will be probably be after I am done with that whole hockey arena thing you speak of!  See you there!:D

Maybe a little ice fishing, but plan on shooting a lot, taking in as many 3D shoots as I can.  There's a bunch of places now that offer indoor 3D in the winter, and the outdoor season starts in February.

 

I'm also running our club's youth league again this year.  60 kids every Saturday morning through Feb & March. 

 

And of course turkey season is only 4 months away.

Most of my spare time has been on a BB court as I am coaching in 2 youth leagues, also working on my long honey do list and Christmas activities. I made it out a few times muzzy hunting and will climb the tree a few more times with the bow. Looks like Ice fishing is on the cusp of taking off around here as well so need to get that stuff all ready to go as well...

Been there a couple times already but it's been quite a while.  It's been about 3 years since I've done an honest trip.  Been too long.

 

i hope your shoulder issues get worked out!

I went and "unfrosted" my ground blind on Sunday, and hope to get a few more days trying to fill my tag yet.  Then it will be a couple days up on URL or LOTW, and then my 14 y.o. son plays in BB tournaments every weekend until the middle of March.  Then its spring break in Roatan, Honduras for a week of snorkeling and diving for the family and back for spring school tournaments and AAU ball til school ends.

 

Lots of practice this next summer, set up a nice 4 shot course in the woods behind the house this fall (ground and elevated spots), and I have promised myself to do alot of scouting close to home to pattern the deer for next fall for my son and I.   I got two really nice bucks on the trail camera this year that I am going after next year, looking forward to the challenge:) 

 

 

Wanderer, maybe I will run into you on B-side this winter!

So, you seemed to have missed the Sled ride on the Northshore or Ely in here somewhere! :angry:

      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

      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.
