Mentors Needed for 50 youth hunters


DonBo

Recommended Posts

Guys, 50 kids signed up for the early youth hunt that can not participate because there are not enough mentors.

Everyone talks about "Take a Kid Hunting". Time to step up.

If you are able to help please contact:

I put my name in for my area and have yet to receive the information.

It's just coming out now. That's how I know about the shortfall of mentors. You should be receiving an email anytime.

Any need for help in my neck of the woods?

Thanks Cooter, but unless you've got a hunting spot in Minnesota I'm afraid you can't help us.

Wisconsin already has some pretty liberal laws to get kids out hunting. Minnesota is working towards that but haven't quite got there yet.

Thanks for the info Don. I just hope the scheduled meeting falls on one of the next 2 weekends. This weekend opened up now that I am cancelling my turkey clinic in Redwood Falls. I've only received one call since the drawing was conducted in January. blush

It isn't much, but this is the email I got today.

Subject: Hunters have been drawn

Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 11:06:01 -0600

Hello,

It sounds like there were still six more kids in 601 that didn't get drawn. If we can find mentors and land they will add them to the hunt, and it sounds like we may already have half of these covered. Let me know if you can find either another mentor or a place where more kids could hunt. Statewide they have 50 extra names so if you know anyone else outside of 601 that could help it would give these kids a chance to find out what distracts all of us so much in the spring.

Thanks!

I believe there is a need all across the state. I'm new to mentoring so I'm not sure I can answer your questions fully.

Please contact Gene. He is the lead guy on this for the entire state. His contact info is above.

Sorry, I put up some misleading info earlier. Gene Groebner is NOT the state coordinator on this hunt. He is in charge of the metro area 601. He told me he would be happy to answer your questions or be a go-between for you and the area leader wherever you are located.

The state director in charge would be Tom Glines. He can be contacted at:

Gene told me he applied for membership of FM last night and hopes to be on here tonight to set things straight.

Here's the latest from Gene:

It sounds like it may be too late to add more mentors to cover the extra kids that applied. But, there may be some spots available in some of the other zones. If you can hold off on try to recruit, or at least make people aware that we may not be able to fill in all of the spots, I would appreciate it. As soon as I get some more questions answered I will let you know if and where the need is.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • 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.
