EA Frustrating Rules!

Got some things done around the house today so I went to Gander to buy my regular deer license and an early antlerless tag to hunt tomorrow. They informed me that I wouldn't be able to hunt tomorrow because even though there is no waiting period for the antlerless tags there is a two day waiting period for the regular firearms license to become valid. If I would have bought the firearms license yesterday I could have hunted tomorrow. Useless rule IMO especially during a management hunt. Extremely frustrating - I bet others waited till Friday to buy both licenses to hunt this weekend.

Is your early antlerless tag different than a management?

I'm sure that they don't want someone to shoot a doe and then go buy a license if they get one. Thats usually the deal. I would assume that because its a special permit, it is different than the management. Therefor, regular tag rules apply, i.e. the 48 hour rule. Sorry, it sucks, but those are the rules. However, I know pleanty of peope that have been misinformed by clerks at ELS stations. You might want to try and contact someone to clarify.

I think you can buy a licence right up untill midnight the night before the hunt. After that the 48hour rule applies. So by those rules 11:59pm on friday night was the point you had to commit to this weekends hunt.

I had to wait 48 hours for my bow licence to be good this year. It sucked, but I forgot, so I had to wait.

I read the regs early and keyed in on page 62 of the regs which says Early Antlerless tags are an exception and the waiting period doesn't apply. Since I wouldn't be using the regular license tags, I assumed the waiting period doesn't affect the early antlerless season. There is a clause which I didn't pick up saying that the regular license has to be valid (I guess even though the regular "tags" are not valid in this early season hunt anyways).

Anyway, I guess the frustrating part is that each year I read over the regulations soon after they are out to keep up on the changes. Thought I understood the regs - didn't know if I could make it out tommorrow until just a couple hours ago - and found out I didn't understand a technicality. What do I do tommorrow - more stuff around the house? That don't sound fun! I even went to church tonight which freed up tommorrow!

I'd have to go with you should be fine to buy it and go tommorow. You will buy you regular tag before the season starts. The early season permits are valid as soon as you buy them.I would go. I picked up one for my girlfriend today at about 3.

      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.
