I have a MN season A tag and I'm leaving this thursday in hopes of bagging a nice bird. But the weather forcast says it is going to be mid 40's and snow flurries. Will this effect the birds in anyway? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have shot birds when it was snowing before. They are not real vocal when there is 6" on the ground. It helps not to have the wind with the snow but the birds are still in the woods and fields.

They are much less vocal, but if you know where they are and what their patterns are, you just wait em out just like deer hunting. They still fly down, they still go out and look for food, they still want to get it on with the ladies if there is a hot one around. If it's windy, get out of the wind, the birds will want to do the same. Don't overcall in conditions like that. They will be on to you in short order since they know how turkeys talk in conditions like that and if all of a sudden there is a happy hen that won't shut up they'll figure out the game. Good luck!

Went out today and didnt hear a gobble in the morning. It was 35 degres and 30 mph winds. The wind chill was 19 so it was misrable. We hopped in the truck to warm up and headed out to the next spot. As soon as we arrived I saw 4 jakes 100 yards behind us, called, and 10 minutes later the came sprinting to the decoy! Dropped a nice jake 30 yards out. Great hunt to bad its over so soon. But it worked out nice having my dad see it all ( he didnt get drawn ) Overall great morning!

Had to write this quick as I'm bored sitting here. Haven't heard anything. Haven't seen anything but deer n Pheasants. It snowed like a banshee n I'm chilled. Hopefully tomorrow morning will be more eventful. Prior commitments have me leaving shortly. Another other reports?

Had a tom on the roost about 150 yards from my blind this morning. After he flew down, he remained quite vocal, but kept moving away. I could hear he was making a circle. About 8am a hen walked by, 5 yards from me. I thought he'd be behind her, but he was not.

I back tracked him and he made a big loop and ended up in corn stubble. I'll be waiting for him to come home tonight.

Very little movement or gobbling the last three days. The wind has been so strong its hard to hear.

I had a great time watching multiple species of ducks this morning.

      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.
