This may be a stupid question....but is there a legal way to shoot more than one buck a year in Minnesota. So if I shoot a buck bowhunting can I shoot one with a rifle later in the year? They are two different zones if that has anything to do with it too. Thanks

Actually, if you live in NW minnesota, within a few certain counties, like I do, you can take a buck by archery and firearms. It has been this way for quite a few years now. It was one reason I started bowhunting. By the way, I live in Roseau county.

Ya dere-guys! I asked this very question of the DNR this year because I couldn't find EXACTLY where it says that you can't take two bucks in the regs. Other than the extreme NW corner of the state (Lake of the woods), you can only take one buck per calender year. Another bit o' info--you can only use one bonus tag in one bonus permit zone per year. That means if you use a bonus permit while bowhunting in a bonus permit zone, you won't be able to use another bonus permit (bow or gun) in another bonus permit zone. You can use up to 4 bonus permits in Intensive Harvest zones. The maximum harvest by one hunter per year is 5 deer, only one can be a buck. You can use any permit first (regular license or bonus permit).
The regs refer to bucks as deer (the limit is one deer except in the two-deer area....). DNR---it would be nice if you would clarify it to read "No one may take more than one BUCK per calender year, except..."
I wonder how many people shoot more than one buck a year because they don't understand the regs.

I didn't realize we could take two bucks in the far NW corner, thanks for information.
I hunt between Itasca state park and Bagley in a town called Alida... I wish we could take two bucks there as I've seen alot in the area!

Thanks guys- Well I'll have to think a little bit more now before I let that arrow fly. I am not hunting the northwest area so I can only get one buck. But thanks for the offer to go to WI but I already go there for deer hunting....been doing it for the last 10 years at my cabin. Well thanks again guys.

Tombows "Another bit o' info--you can only use one bonus tag in one bonus permit zone per year" is almost accurate, again the vague nature of MN regs,we now refer to all extra tags as "bonus" wether mangement or intensive. The one area restriction only applies to "bonus" tags used in "Managed Deer Permit" areas, meaning that you may only use 1 "bonus" tag in one "Managed Deer Permit" area per year, though, as you stated, you may still use other "bonus" tags in any "Intensive Deer Permit" area.

Yeah Cooter, ya opened yourself right up...so where is your cabin? I have a non-res.-WI tag to use up, got a place up by Rhinelander (where my folks live) but something closer.....

It would be nice if the MN DNR could just make it a little more clear when they write the regulations. Make it ***** proof, 'cause sometimes I ARE ONE!

Ok I just moved here a year ago from upstate New York and the rules were pretty simple and I grew up in Iowa and there I thought the rules were pretty simple. I have a bow license which I believe is for either sex, a multi zone Buck license and 1 bonus permit. I didn't read nor was I informed that I could only shoot 1 Buck. So your saying that If I shoot a buck in October with my bow, that my multi- zone Buck license will become null and void unless I go to the northwest corner of the state? I should get my money back then because I won't make it up there. I will be hunting in 3A with my gun and several places with my bow. In New York I could shoot 3 bucks and 2 does! 1 bow, 1 shotgun/rifle, and 1 muzzle loader.

Sorry, Minnesota only allows 1 buck per calender year for any hunter, except a portion of the state by Lake of the Woods (NW-MN). Shoot one with your bow and you can't shoot another with your gun. If you have questions about the regs and what they mean, get on the MN DNR HSOforum and ask them to nail it down for you, then suggest that maybe they could word it differently in the printed and online Regs.

      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.

      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.
