Yesterday hunted a small pond in north metro on private land. We shot 8 ducks (gadwall, mallards, one BWT) and a couple geese. It was so dark with the clouds that even at shooting time they were comin

Just got back from Nodak and we had a good shoot 2/3 days... They were pretty much commiting suicide into the dekes the last day...

If anyone checks in here and has any reports, light us up! ?   I don’t know how many ducks are left in MN with the recent cold snap but there has to be some.  Last weekend we shot a 3 man li

Hunted near the south metro over water. 2 geese and 2 doves down. Birds did not want to be on water and most avoided me spread for the fields. It was hilarious to watch my 40 pound Brittany retrieve geese. He can barely get them in his mouth but he finds a way to swim back with the bird.

Hunted some ambush spots Monday (no decoys - waiting near loafing spots or fly-ways)in the South Metro. Two of us got four geese and came really close to limiting out if a flock would have been 30 yards closer. They were flying only 25 feet off the ground. I got my two geese on a small marsh/bog.

Saw about 200+ mallards and Woodies. Pretty much had ducks on every water hole we ran into. 50-60 Mallards lit off of the one small hole where I got the two geese.

Can't wait for the duck opener!

I was out at my parent's house yesterday evening shooting my bow and the geese and ducks were thick! This is in Washington County, SE of Hugo. I wasn't too excited when I didn't see many last weekend out there, but it was crazy last night with geese circling all over the place, lots of mallards going in and out.

Geese are thick up in the Northern part of the state, fields were not hard to find. Had a good hunt this morning for two of us, cacklers/giants were eating up the spread and yesterday took the dog with and he is still learning but shot 6 though... I will post pics sometime through the season goes on.

good luck everyone!

On Sunday I saw a single snow with about 200 geese by my sister's place up there, Quack. She's 6 miles south of the Pool... you know the Pool... wink

After being up there this past weekend, I couldn't take it anymore. I bought some dekes and am headed back up next weekend to lay some wood. Geese everywhere around there.

Well, I shot my limit but not the type of ducks I wanted. There was about 100 teal on the slough I was hunting. They got up and I decided to shoot one just to get on the board. Shot once and five of them fell. 30 seconds or so later I shot a drake mallard. 2 shots and maybe 90 seconds into the season, I was picking up decoys watching tons of Mallards fly around.

Waited till well after shooting time to walk into a spot this morning; didn't want to go the 1/2 mile only to find somebody had come in from the other side...after seeing ducks work and not hearing any shots, figured it was empty...was treated to a flock of about 200 blue wing constantly buzzing the dekes every 10 minutes or so. They were flying too tight for me to take a clean shot...never saw another species of duck this morning. Sounded like WW3 started in eastern SD...I'd be surprised if Scheels has any steel shot left by tomorrow afternoon. Lots of guys picking up field spreads when I was driving back into town this morning.

Well, today was a big kick to the groin. Plenty of birds but my shooting was awful. I have had off days shooting before but nothing like this. Shot a box of shells and ended up with 2 teal and a woodie. Wiffed on quite a few mallards and woodies. When walking back to the truck a flock of woodies, flock of mallards, and a flock of 4 pintails landed exactly where my decoys were.

Friend and I were west of Delano and we did great. Lots of shooting, total misses. Had a great time out in the blind and we didn't have to clean a thing. All wood ducks. No teal at all despite there having been many on the lake a few days earlier. It pretty much shut down by 830 or so. How did anyone shoot ducks when the opener was a noon?

      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.

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
