Setter Guy,

I had the very unfortunate and traumatic event of putting my English down over the 4th. Suddenly I am setterless. Not good... (very bad for the mental health). I would like to get some info as to what is out there puppy-wise, as I haven't looked for quite a while. My last dog was a female, Ryman line orange belton from Setters West in Montana. They have nothing available until Spring. I would prefer the same line, but a guy has to leave his options open and look around. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and I am looking at two pups.

Thanks in advance,

You can e-mail me privately if needed. [email protected]

Scott Berg has great english setter and red setter pups. I just talked to him yesterday and he has a litter of both coming soon and there might be some started eight month old english setters avliable. Scott knows more about setters than anybody I know and his pups are priced reasonable.

I have one of his english setters and I am thinking about getting one of his red setters.

Actually the dog in my avitar is one of Scotts Dogs, and most likely the sire to his current litter of white dogs. He is a very knowledgable dog man, and would be worth at least talking to to get information before purchasing a pup.

2thepoint...I have two red setters from Scott...I will be running a litter through one if not both in the next year (likely have one bred Feb07). Both are out of his female Dolly. Let me know if you are interested in a pup next spring. Chances are I would be breeding to a Berg Bros produced red setter stud dog too.

I will also attest that Scott has VERY nice setters...Red and White ones.

I am interested. Because I will not be ready to take one of Scotts pups during hunting season this year, so next winter would be better. I drive 500 miles everyweekend during pheasant season and trying to take a 8 week old pup would be difficult.

Do you hunt up north for grouse? I would love to see one his red setters in action.

I do a lot of grouse hunting in the fall. I will be up north of Nashwauk Oct 8th/9th. Then up around Northhome/Mizpah Oct 20th/21st/22nd. Might make a couple day trips up around Mora this fall too.

Maybe I will get a chance to look at your red setters on October 8th or 9th. I will contact you when October is a little closer. (The first and second weeks of October are probably the best time to hunt grouse up here. Last year I put up 20 grouse in four hours the weekend before the Minnesota pheasant season)

I think I put up around 50 birds total last year. That was one of my dogs first grouse seasons, so I was pretty happy to come into contact with that many birds (grouse and woodcock). She was only 10 months.

I will get in touch before that trip. We will be staying in a cabin on Bear Lake. Im actually going up there today (for the weekend) with all the dogs.

      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.
