Nice pictures mtreno, but I have a couple questions.

What is the triangular flap on the shoulder of the moose. Between the guy in the middles hands? How old is the calf?

And on the second picture -is it wearing a collar or something? Or is it just shadows? Freindly looking thing. Must have been bottle raised.

just the way the pictures turned out. no collar. buddie wayne (middle of group photo) on opening moring deer was sitting in the stand and up walks this moose. at first he was scared mom was around somewhere - after a few hours of her just standing around wayne called to her - she came right over to him. he played with her for about an hour and then thought there is no way anyone is going to believe his story - so he thought he would try and lead her back to camp. sure enough she walked accross two fields and up a ridge with wayne all the way back. we pull back into camp and wayne meets us on the road - after betting him $100 that he did not have a moose in the dog kennel we drove into camp. there she was...... turns out mom had been hit by a car a few miles away. she was just looking for someone to be nice to her. you have no idea how nice and gental she was around us. loved getting rubbed between the eyes and behind the ears.

we contacted the dnr to see if there was anything we could do for her - even got a local interested in keeping her for the winter with his cows. but the dnr man said we had to let her go. she stayed near camp for a few days and then took off. dnr said she was born this april and less then a 2% chance of making it thought the winter. i guess a moose calf stays with mom for about two years. kinda said but thats life. sure she is wolf bait by now. we named her marty the moose and will always be remembered at our deer camp!

Cool story!

I had a similar thing happen to me many years ago. I walked outside the house and saw the family dog playing with a young buck. I could hardly believe my eyes. I froze and the deer walked right up to me. The puzzled look on my face was only matched by the puzzled look on my lab's face. I petted its head a few times and it didn’t seem to bother him one bit. I spent about a hour watching it walk around the house and garage before it walked off into the woods.

Wow!!! I can hardly believe it. What an awsome story. One that will be talked about for generations to come. Thanks mtreno for sharing it with us.

And by the way after I looked at the top picture a little bit longer, I see that the triangle flap is just the light on the top of the shoulder. The little hump there.

I saw the pictures when it first came out and they were cool. I also get the same thing now that you are seeing. I don't know if it expired but hopefully he repost them.

      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.
