Okay guys, this is it! The official site of the 2012 HSO Turkey Contest winning team #5! grin

Let's hear it. Where ya all hunting and when. I'll edit the first post and add your info when we hear from you. This will be a great way to keep track of each other and when we're all hunting.

I'll be hunting a great new property just north of Stillwater in zone 510 during the second, or "B" season. This hunt will be the first time I've got to hunt with my 89 year old father in probably over 20 years. He's shot several turkeys in recent years, but this will be his first time ever hunting Minnesota.

This hunt will be close to home, and I'll probably only get to hunt a few hours before work each morning.

I'll also be spending 5 days in Wisconsin's zone 4 in early May. This is a great hunt in the area South of Baldwin, east of Ellsworth. I'll have two tags in my pocket for this hunt. We've done really well here over the years with several 25+ pounders taken. Sadly, none of those pigs has gone home with my tag on them, but the odds are swinging in my favor. smile

MN, B season also. Hunting south of Redwing. I will be taking the bow and the gun. I need to do my part for the team so I will be ready for every possibility. I am counting down the days.

I didn't get drawn this year in the lottery so I will be hunting the "E" season with an over the counter tag in zone 508. I plan to start the season in northern Isanti County but may try a couple days in Carlton County depending on what I see. This is my 3rd year hunting. In each of my first 2 years I have called Tom's to within 30 yards but have yet to get a shot at one. Hopefully, this will be the year.

Welcome guys! Sounds like we've got a pretty solid team so far.

eric, past winner? Nice! Was that the winning team, or biggest bird of the year?

CFD, I will probably carry my bow in WS for the first few days too, especially if I fill my MN tag first. Have you had success with the bow before? I've taken several, but never an Eastern, maybe this year.

Bowfin, sounds like you're due, three times a charm! smile

We need a name, throw out some ideas when you think of them.

Tom Thumpers

Beard Busters

Thunder Struck

Feather Dusters

Spur Collectors

Hooks

I have only shot a Jake with the bow. Since I usually only hunt 3 days I chicken out and bring the gun most days. My son will be returning home from Iraq and will tag along so I will bring both the gun and the bow. Bow if possible back up with the gun. He did not apply because he did not think he would be back in time. I think if he carries the blind it would not be considered assisting?

Since I have to force myself to stay put I am fond of Everlasting Gobblestoppers?

There is NO shame in taking a jake with the bow, that's something very few have even attempted.

That's awesome your son is coming home and gets to join you.

My 14 year old saw a tom fly up in the tree about 100 yards from the house last night. I was out this morning and he was gobbling back at the call. I did not know that they actually strut in the tree. I think my neighbor thought I was nuts. I had to go to work so I could not wait for him to fly down.

Sorry for the delay guys. I've had a few crazy weeks at work and haven't been on in a while. I'm hunting the MN C season. I'll be hunting near Rushford MN, on a property I shot the largest bird winner on two years ago for this turkey contest. I was out on the property the past weekend, so some turkey sign but no turkeys. I'm hoping that it was because it was late morning before I arrived and not that there are few turkeys. Good luck to all my teamates, hopefully we are all successful!

Anyone been out scouting? What are you seeinf out there? It's really greened up early this year, thinking we should be seeing them in the new green fields.

      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.
