Howdy-

I'm just a lowly college student who will be attending UW LaCrosse next year. I was wondering if anyone had any land they would let me hunt (bowhunting only) or knew of anyone who would let me hunt their land. I am a reasonable guy, and would play by all the land owners rules (treestand regs, X number of yards from building, no hunting by livestock, etc). I am just a kid who loves being outdoors and chasing big deer, anyone that could help me would be greatly appreciated!! Hopfully land around Houston, Rushford, Cali area!! Thanks again!!

Alrighty...I like the idea, how nice is nice? Don't want to overdress. Should I look for certian people (older, younger, etc)? And most importantly what should I say?? Thanks a lot for the tips!

Throw me your last nickel and you might have a deal. J/K!

Actually the best thing to do is be dressed fairly nice and take a weekend to drive around the area you would like to hunt and do a door to door introduction/presentation of yourself.

Normally you can get plot books from the county office and from there you can go about finding someone willing to let you hunt.If you are going to school in Lacrosse, I would suspect that the city/county hall offices would have the plot book you would be looking for.

Good Luck.

jonny, This best success I've had is to dress nice and have something to offer in return for letting you hunt on thier property. Ihave shoveled out chicken coops in wisconsin, traded walleye for pheasant in iowa. try offering to be a guide for them on thier next fishing trip to you home area. that has worked for me being that i live close to winnie.. most of all be honest with the land owner tell him everything he asks. all that being said you will still get plenty of hell no's... so be patient and keep smiling..

good luck, The Junkie

No need for suit and tie....though you could go far in an interview someday looking sharp like that grin.gif

Seriously, dress appropriate- represent yourself as a professional. Ex. no holes in your jeans and no tennis shoes. Maybe put on khakis and dress shoes with a button up?!?!? Then just go into the drive way thinking positive and be friendly.

You might get shot down your first encounter- but don't let your loses discourage you. Continue and eventually you will find a landowner that won't mind you hunting on their land.

WHEN that permission is granted, you better treat that opportunity like you are holding a golden ticket!

Your actions speak louder than your words.

Nope, I always love to get as many opinions and helpful pieces of advice as I possible can, they can't hurt. Thank you VERY VERY much for the advice. When I get home this summer I am going to get on that.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
