Went out yesterday to my bowstand to set up some scrapes and my scent dripper. I walked about 30yrds to find out that there is another hangon stand right next to me on the same ridge. you would have to walk next to mine in order to get to the stand. IDK if i just didnt see it when I put mine up a while ago, or if he just put his up. Should I move my stand or just hunt there when he/she isn't there?The thing is that I found alot of scrapes yesterday making me want to stay, I put my dripper up anyways. What should I think of doing?

-Thanks, JN

I would think of buying my own land. I don't have that problem and if I did I know what I would do.

Seriously I would still hunt it. What are the chances of both of you being there at the same time. If you are seing alot of scrapes are they favoring your stand or his/her? What direction are they traveling? I know it would suck if both of you are out there at the same time but it depends on the deer on who gets the shot. Hopefully it works for you.

PikeTipper makes an awesome point.

This might get back into the whole public land fiasco again, but if it's public land, you both have just as much right to be there as the other, & technically as previously discussed neither of you are supposed to leave a stand there. I guess I'd hunt it & hope you either he's not there & you get a deer, or if he shows up then talk it over with him to fine out when he put his up & figure out how you guys want to work it. You never know the best thing might be to hunt together, it could be a real blast. Maybe the guy wants a deer really bad & only gets out 5 times a season & you can shoot a deer for him, who knows.

Bigbucks,

My understanding is you can't leave a stand in WMA overnight but you can in State Forest. The only problem is it is technically state property so if someone else is in the stand you can't kick him out.

thanks guys, I'm in a state forest so it is legall to leave my stand there. As for the scrapes, I'm 99% sure they are real because there are tracks in them with droppings, (as soon as i found there was stand there, I thought about the scrapes being fake also!) the scrapes are about 80 yrds away from our stands, so I dont think he would make them down away from himself.

thanks for the info., WB, good idea!

-Good Hunting

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      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.
