Three more down!


Recommended Posts

I tried a few new spots late last night and early this morning and ended up bringing three more home. That makes 11 for Mitch and I this year so far. Hopefully we won't get the wind they're talking about and we can get out a couple more times this weekend.

1st set was a dud and I called it short as there were two grays barking at each other about 1/2 mile south of me. They were down wind of me and appeared to be calling back to each other. I was planning to try for them later in the night but never got a chance to get back there.

2nd set: i called in the mother load! Called in four which was a first. I only managed to get two of them though. I dropped the male after he came into the bluejay distress and switched to pup distress. The female came in after a minute or so. After I dropped the second one I could still here something running through the brush. I got the two of them to come up to where I dropped the second one but the gun just went click. I looked down and the shell never fully chambered. I tried to get the shell out but managed to jam another one up there and now I had a real mess. By the time I got them out they had run off into the brush and wouldn't come back. Gave me a good tongue lashing though.

3rd set: I called in one but unfortunately made a poor shot and ended up losing it. I tracked it for a bit but ended up losing it in some tall grass. I plan to head back out today agian to try and find it in the daylight.

I called one last spot as it was getting late and ended up pulling this last one in. I think his mate was in the brush to the left of me but I never saw her. I heard him making his way toward me and made the 20 yard shot. I called it a night since I had a lot of skinning to do. Hope to get out tonight agian. We'll keep you posted.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
