We purchased property 5 years ago with state land along our eastern border. While still hunting, I came across a permanent stand with nobody around - no boot tracks, nothing. Out of curiousity I climbed up simply to look around. I sat there for about 5 minutes and surprisingly a 6 pt. came running through. No joke. I shot it, gutted, and hauled him out. About 2 hours later two orange figures come stomping across our field. They sarcastically mentioned the buck and proceeded to "chew me a new one" for being in their stand. I wasn't trying to cause issues, but simply told him I was sorry, we had just purchased the land, and didn't know they hunted there. He told me to stay out. I advised him that I wouldn't climb "his" tree stands, but he wasn't going to dictate where I roamed during season. That escalated the situation and they continued the butt chewing. Bottom line - hunter respect is one thing, ignorance is another.

Was he on your land? If so I would have told him before he said anything I would have said do you relise you are on private property? I can call the local LEO or CO if youd like. I understand you shot the deer out of "his stand" but I would not have stood for that on my own property. But that is why i try to stay away from people because I dont want to [PoorWordUsage] of the wrong guy with a gun! Happy hunting!

He was on our land when we were talking, I brought that up....whole other story! Had there been cell coverage, the CO would have been called. Longer story - shorter, they don't hunt there anymore.

Interesting side note, I have seen TONS of permanent and "portable" stands up on Gores Pool WMA by Hastings, as well as plenty of hunting shacks and party spots in the WMA adjacent to the river.

Anybody know what the deal is with that? I can't believe a CO hasn't boated by on the Mississippi and seen all the shacks from the river. Heck, one of em is directly under a WMA sign.

Glad I don't hunt there, it looks like it'd be madness during gun season

We have a a general area a friend has hunted for years and now someone has a built a deer stand on it. This is public land. What are your thoughts of who should hunt it - who was their first or who built the stand first?

I know the legal "RULES" - first come first serve - but what about the unwritten rules - good sportman??

Just trying to get your thoughts? I hate to get in an argument opening morning at 6:00 b/c no one will see a deer but I also know land is getting tougher to find unless you have the money to buy some and I hate to give up a good spot.

Whatever ended up happening?

      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

      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.
