That reminds me of a time during high school when I was out walking through the woods next to a meadow on my grandparents property. I was walking on this trail and apparently a deer had bed down a few feet off the trail.

I didn't see the deer until I spooked it and it bolted across the trail right in front of me. Literally I could have reached out and given it a hug as it ran by it was so close.

Another second down the trail and I would have met my end by being run over by a deer. It scared the dump out of me, I swear I must have jumped 10 feet in the air.

Nothing like seeing nature up close and personal.

Memorial Day morning, my dad had a couple guys shooting his archery 3-D course. They shot the wolf target, walk up to retrieve their arrows, and about 6-8' away is a baby fawn bedded. They got out of there and my dad went back and took a pic or two, then shut that target down for the day. A co-worker saw a fawn last week that was still wet from birth laying on the edge of a blacktop county road. He went over to "shoo" it off the road and it had a heck of a time, up and down, up and down. Once it was down in the ditch he left as the doe was near by. Pretty cool stuff happening this time of year.

Nofish- your story reminded me of something that happend back in High school.. I raced CC Ski, and we had a race at highland park. Anyway we are standing at the finish cheering on a would be finisher and he gets taken out by a deer. Totally just ran him over!. Broke his skie poles and everything. After we found out he was ok.. I laughed till I cryed...

Grouse hunting a couple years ago in NC Minnesota almost got run over by a forker that was trying to get out of the way and circling back from where we jumped it, swear I could have reached out with the barrel of my gun and bonked it on the head it was that close before it saw me. We both stopped and did the eye popping thing to get away from each other. Still makes me smile.

Circling around some brush while shore fishing when my cousin & I were probably in junior high, I was in midstep & stopped about 6" short of putting my foot down right on top of a bedded fawn. It never moved other than the eyes, nostrils, & possibly the ears a bit. At first we thought it was dead, but it was just hiding. Very cool, we just backed up & circle around it, never did see the doe. It's one of those things you never forget.

      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.
