The Black Hills is a different than anything we do here. We lucked out our first trip and went 2 for 3 but have had a couple trips where it was tag soup for all. I sure enjoy that trip though.

Sometimes it's hard to catch a break Stick. How ya gonna do that tag soup?

I plan on wrapping that darn turkey tag around a fish arrow and shooting a paddlefish with it! We got invited down in July - just need to draw the tag. Getting those birds in tight this year was tough. The weather has been crud - the trees aren't even leafed out down there yet. If we ever get some good consistent weather, the hunting could get really good. I think I used up all my luck last fall. Hopefully the birds will be fired up for MN E season!

If you are planning on going to Santee and dont have a license yet you can forget it. They are all out of licenses and will not be selling anymore. Turning alot of hunters away after traveling hours to get there.

I know we were in SD a week ago and some guys showed up without looking into the tags and all mad. SD tribal is lottery and they thought they could just show up and by one. Long ways to go without looking into the hunt.

There are very few turkeys in Nebraska as a result of terrible nesting in the spring over the last decade or more. Check into Canada, heard that's the place to be for turkeys and you could even turn it into a combo trip. Hunt in the morning and fish in the afternoon! Ya picking up what I'm laying down?

Yeah, I hear what you're saying - way tooo many coyotes down there too. For every poult that hatches, less than 5% survive the four-legged and avian predators. And the snow! All it does is snow down there in the spring - who would want to put up with that?!? I'm surprised they haven't closed the season yet! grin

This guy was shot at 6 yards late the second morning. A gobble at 6 yards is louder than I thought it was going to be. Does this bird look like a Merriam or hybrid? The tips are not white but more cream. We saw both Merriams and Easterns where we were. I had over 15 birds walk by me the first morning at 20 yards or less but did not get a shot as the 4 Toms were on the other side of a bump in front of me. All I could see was the tips of their tails as they strutted by. They passed me and I did not take the jakes at 10 yards as another guy I was with was 60 yards down and I did not want to screw up a chance he might get at one of the Toms. He got one of them. I learned a lot for next year if I get back there.

      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.
