I also have the deer hunting itch. The snow is almsot gone so walking in the woods now is just awesome. This is a great time to scout as all the sign is still visible and no bugs yet. In fact last weekend I found a new spot that needs a stand. So that will be my project for the next few weekends.....

A friend of mine has a friend who is part of a 23,000 acre leased camp on the King Ranch in TX. I got invited to go along and couldn't pass up a trip of a lifetime. Now I just need to get invited when the whitetails and quail are fair game.

I went up to the shack last week and had a look around. I scouted a few new areas for bear hunting and checked out my land. I put some salt blocks out for the deer, and put some left over bait out for the bears. I won't hunt from the area I baited, I just like to set the cameras out and see what's around. I sighted in the muzzle loader with some new bullets, and have been shooting the bow pretty regular. I've reloaded more shotgun shells than one guy really needs, and I've been shooting 4 rounds of skeet a week. I need fising to open so I can quit obsessing about hunting. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the bear license.

I'm hoping to get out for Turkey season with the bow. But with spring being pushed back I will be planting during that time. But I have my mathew's sighted in and looking to shoot another big one for the taxadermist this year. I can't believe you didn't see A deer. Need to get out of that NYA area and head north. I hunt north of fargo and one night bow hunting on a 1/3 mile of river bottom we saw 24 deer in 2 hrs of hunting.

The hunting itch has been slowly leaving me, got spoiled years ago. The county I hunt is void of ducks so no duck hunting, having roughly 30 good goose hunting spots down to 4 and the number of quality bucks around is at barely any. Grouse numbers aren't worth mentioning anymore, went from hundreds to just a brood here and there. Not really a huntable amount of pheasants around and if they were finding places to go you can't. My property lines are surrounded by heated box stands. Sorry such a downer but I don't see any of that ever improving which is why so many leave the state to hunt: I might be joining them.

      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.
