Couple Minnesota Grays!

Mitch and I took off the last week or so to do a little fishing and get a few things done around the house but decided to drag the guns and caller out this morning to try our luck. We've been saving some of our Minnesota spots for after the 1st and broke a few in this morning. We called in a male at the first spot and Mitch dropped it. Had the female come in a couple minutes later but she stayed a little out of range and Mitch kept his finger off the trigger. We tried three more with nothing showing. Heard a couple packs of coyotes in the distance and marked them down for future reference and decided on one last one for the night.

We set up in some thick stuff with Mitch near the caller and me downwind 30 yards. I let the caller play for 15 minutes or so while varying the volume when I see him hit his light and see the fox. He shoot and it tips over. It came in pretty close and fast and he hit it pretty hard but down none the less. #8 and 9 for him this year. We've tied our best year with this mornings take and are at 23 for the year with plenty of time to break the our record.

Hey Grayfox. I have a FoxPro Scorpion coming in the mail and has 100 pre recorded calls. What calls do you use the most and you said you played it for 15 min, What call did you play continous?. I live in S.W. minn and just wanted to do some day and nite calling. Do you use different calls at nite than during the day? Thanks...

Randy,

Honestly, I don't think it would matter a whole lot which sound I used for the grays but I typically use mostly bird distress sounds,woodpecker,bluejay and nuthatch. Mostly because anybody running around usually uses the old die hard rabbit distress and I want to use something they're probably not hearing on a regular basis.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · 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

      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.

      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.
