Well as much as I hate to admit it I missed, I shot him for 30 yards and skimmed some belly feathers. However I have 2 that are gobbling closet now.

Don't feel bad. I missed one too on Thursday morning at 8 yards with my shotgun. Too close.

Took me the rest of my season to get another chance and took him at 32 yards. Hopefully you score one of those other birds coming your way.

Well I had 3 more Toms come in 2 of them hung out with 3 hens between 100 and 70 yards I was able to get the one that was gobbling to the north to come into 30 yards but he hung out on a wheeler trail with tons of thick grass between me and him. I watched him strut and listened to him spitting and drumming for 20 minutes till the neighbor came out on his wheeler and they all left. I had to bail to meet the plumbing inspector as St.Thomas then I'm going to move my blind about 60 yards to where they where strutting and the hens fed most of the morning and sit till dark.

AS: Reflection off the I-phone hang 'em up? wink

The Toms were really talking this morning - both on and off the roost. Had a pair cross a field, then a gravel road, then the field by our little spot in the woods this morning. Because of a crest in the field, we could not see them - only hear them. and hear them we did. A pair gobbling together at our calls, crows, geese - on a string - well so we thought.

The little hen down on the corner of the field thought she was the new cornerback for the Vikes and made a pair of interceptions. tired

I had a break in the action and was able to move the blind 60 yards to the west.I listened as the bird to the north got farther and farther away. As soon as I popped the blind up and got the stakes in he surprised me with a gobble about 150 yards out. I can hear as he gets closer and farther that he is strutting north and south on a old road bed on the neighbors property.It's kind of neat the thunder is moving in and he gobbles every time it makes a distant roar. We I got to check raindar and see how bad this storm is going to be. Atleast I got moved for tomorrow morning if nothing happen tonight or the storm gets to bad.

Well no bird tonight,I guess I will sit down and eat my feather samich. I was surprised at how vocal the birds were today I was hearing gobbles up til 6:45 when the small storm move thru. Well I got the blind set in the hotspot from this morning so that means tomorrow the will be where I was setup today.

Did anyone like the updates from the blind? If so I will continue tomorrow.

Had two Toms come into decoy at 15yds,I was able to draw my bow one came out of strut amd was walking away.I put my pin on the center of his back and as I release he turns to the right. My arrow shaved some back feathers and sticks in his wing were it connects to the body he runs off with arrow still stuck in him. No blood , three of us look for an hour and half. I feel s#%t ! We watched the shot in slow motion on video so close.

well team i could of shot a bird but i took the wife out and she got this onefull-31865-20462-2012fishing024.jpg

Then a friend of mine who never went turkey hunting got this onefull-31865-20463-100_1690.jpg

I was out this morning and had a tom in the woods 70 yards away and he would not commit, i guess with all the shooting the first 2 days in that area did something, was out tonite but didnt see or hear a bird. i have one more morning to get it done hopfully the rain holds off for at least an hour in the morning. I might of let you guys down but if i would of shot a 50# bird with a 2ft beard it wouldnt mean as much as being with the 2 hunters each day, calling the birds in and seeing how excited each one was. The wife said in the blind after hugs and a kiss you know that was just like on tv, for me its not the kill its the satisfaction that you can take out somebody hunting and it all works out as for me it sure makes me feel good and if i dont shoot a bird a had an excellent season that will never be forgot.

      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.
