Hi, I saw this sport drink for dogs in a pheasants forever mag. called Dyne, its supposed to give them more energy and stamina, and helps so they dont get dehydrated,.
Have any of you guys heard of this or used it, or use something similar?

Also, as far as excercise, my dogs get a good long session of tossing the dummy, plus get about a mile run about every other day, usually a slower trot about 1/2 that, and run the other 1/2. Is this sufficient enough excersise before hunting season?
What kind of excercise schedule do YOU use?

had my younger one at the hunting preserve last week for her fisrt time in front of live birds and she seemd to tire out quickly, it was windy as heck and maybe was abit warm for her, I think it was maybe around the 60 degree range.
thanks

In my personal opinion, dogs don't NEED energy bars, drinks, etc. Just like you and I don't NEED it either. I've played sports, hunted all day, etc. Whether I drink water, juice or Gatorade I don't notice a difference, but I tend to drink gatorade/powerade because it tastes good and is supposed to help. They didn't need it in the past, their ancestors the wolf doesn't need it, but there's probably some science behind it and there could be some benefits. It's probably not going to be noticeable for the average hunter/dog, maybe if you hunt 5 days a week all season long, but generally your dog should recover with rest and time-off.
This is just my opinion, and maybe has something to do with the fact that I don't want to spend more money and haul along more stuff when we hunt.
Other opinions?

I believe that if dogs are worked hard, you cant go wrong with high energy food/snacks. The wolf and also bears will go for the fatty areas first to give then the extra energy reserves they may need.

I just give my dog a higher amount of protien for the hunting season. I switch his food. Id give him the same all year but it costs alot more.

      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.

      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.
