The more I use trail cams the more I love them. Not only did I have a cougar on the cam from this weekend I also had a neighbor on the trail cam who was trespassing. Anybody advise confronting the neighbor with him bird hunting on video? What an one-who-thinks-I-am-silly. If you're going to trespass...at least make sure you're not on video!

If you have the area posted as the law requires, its just a matter of showing the CO the camera footage. If you do not want to take it that far, a cup of coffee and a low key conversation is usually all that is needed. Especially if is a neighbor. If he will be a neighbor for a long time, perhaps just a friendly talk is what would result in he best outcome down the road. Good luck.

Ok, I stand corrected. What I thought was the tail was actually the inside of the back leg. Tough to tell with all the grass. However, after watching this too many times, this without a doubt is a bobcat. I got pretty excited for a minute though! Get video!

It even has a long curled tail like a couger and it has a black tipped tail like a couger. Dont think their around MN???

Guess again they are more common than one might think. Actually my buddies dad was combining corn last year late one night down by Tiger Lake out in the Norwood area which is just west of Chaska and saw one go into the corn in front of him and later found it's tracks. Scary thinking they are about the most efficient predator around here.

I have no doubt they are MN, in fact the MN DNR has confirmed in the past that one was tracked into MN. However, if you look the video over close, that tail is actually the inside of the back leg. I thought it was a tail at first as well.

There are definately cougars in Minn--I'm just not sure if thats a vid of one. You've got plenty of wolves in Minn and they are way more effecient as predators. I happen to think wolves and bears are way more dangerous than cats to both livestock and people.

I would almost lean towards a bobcat or lynk then a cougar, tall ears shorter tail but thicker then a typical cat.

And yes we do have cougars in MN not in high numbers.

One was killed in Bemijdi a year or so ago out on Hwy 2.

Several folks have photographs of them as well. Then there was the guy attacked this summer by an animal that the DNR is keeping very quiet about.

Short body, short stance, black tip tail and color tell me bobcat! Trapped many over the years. A bobcats tail looks longer when walking. Cougar have tails measured in feet and walk in long looping strides with the feet landind feet away from one another. If your a deer hunter use the gut pile for photo ops you will get better photos, as either predator will feed on it.

      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.
