Sounds like a tough season Scoot, you do have your priorities straight. 

 

My dad has been in the hospital the last week after having really bad bouts of vertigo last week.  They found an issue with some blood vessels in his brain that they had to fix.  Its been a long week and a half but thankfully he's headed home today.  He's still got some healing to do and more tests in a few weeks to see if they need to do another procedure but he seems to be out of immediate risk.  Now we're just hoping he's able to heal up.  SInce this happened his eyes have gotten pretty bad to point he can't read or see well enough to use a cell phone.  May be temporary, maybe be permanent, its a wait and see thing. 

 

I did go out hunting last week while my dad was in the hospital and having his procedure done.  I wanted to stay home but they wouldn't let me visit him anyways and even though he was feeling terrible he made sure my mom called and told me to go hunting.  

 

Ended up sitting last Saturday AM and PM in the rain and then Sunday AM in the wind.  No deer sighted either day.  Had a bear find my ground blind and attempt to redecorate it for me so that partially killed saturday AM's hunt.  Took some effort to get it huntable again but thankful I had it since it was a steady rain almost all day.

Sometimes you just need to sit by yourself in the woods for a while.

 

 

 

I sat last weekend and didn't see nuthin.  It was a good sit though, I had a bit of leaf canopy and was the right way with the wind so I only got about half soaked.

 

Caught a lil guy with messed up antlers on the trail cam.  He looked more like a deformed caribou than a deformed whitetail.  I shoulda saved the pic, I just plugged the card into my phone and viewed, didn't save anything.

Hope your Dad and your hunting get better!

 

I sat on my dock for 15 minutes on Thursday night right at dusk.  That’ll have to do me for a couple weeks, maybe 3.  Heck I spose the next time I touch the dock should be to pull it out.

 

Still need to buy that turkey tag though...

Anyone getting out yet ?

I am gearing up.

That full moon last night with the cold temps looked enticing. 

 

That full moon is killing the deer movement for me. I have missed 3 days of hunting so far and have seen maybe 10 deer. This year I have seen the least amount of deer in my 28 years of hunting Isanti and Chisago counties.

That old dog gordie still around?? I miss that guy on here. Say hi to him from Glenn. Last time I seen him was when he was helping sell bait on a fishing tournament our union sponsored 

Gordie is still around, not sure if he's on here. Hes doing good and loving the cabin life.

Very true.  Although I will say it was a harder than normal sit knowing my dad was currently in the middle of a brain procedure.  Maybe a little too much quite time by myself without enough distratction.  

 

Thankfully my dad is doing better now but still not 100%.  He came home on Friday after 8 days in the hospital but he'll have to go back in a few weeks for more testing and possibly another procedure.  He is also still having a lot of trouble with his vision which has been tough.  We're hoping it improves because right now he can't see well enough to drive, work, or even use his cell phone.

Thank you guys very much.   It did indeed suck.   The end was tough and slow and I felt terrible for him.   9 weeks in the hospital and the last two were not got- on a vent and in a lot of pain when conscious.   But no more pain and suffering and in a better place now.   Better times ahead for all.

      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.
