Today's Hunt


Shu

Recommended Posts

I took advantage of my son's last youth hunt in WI to get him on some birds today after the rain stopped.

Location 1 - called in a nice mature tom to about 15 yards, only problem was the bird was behind our tree and when my son slowly looked around to see where he was...well, there he was and there he went. Funny to hear him tell the story since I didn't move to see it. That tom went out about 65 yards in the brush and would gobble for the next hour or so and had us believing we still had a chance..nope. Nothing we tried would get him any closer. Eventually he wandered away and we went to another spot.

Location 2 - was working a couple toms into a food plot when a hen wandered in, then a jake came in and saw the hen. The jake came running into the decoys looking to run off the jake decoy and was an easy shot for my son.

A great day, lots of birds heard, a close call with a longbeard, and a bird in the truck.

Seeing the kids with turkeys brings back great memories. My son and I started this when he was 11. Now he's 23, and one way or another, we still turkey hunt every year. Congrats on getting a great thing going! Judging by the smiles, I bet he's hooked...

was a beautiful morning,roosted 3 toms last night. Got out there early and got all set up started calling a got some booming gobbles right away. THey were on a far ridge and were coming closer and closer and the last time I heard them were within 75 an closing the distance. Just like that they stopped responding so i fugred they were coming in quiet.WRONG! within a few minutes while calling I see some movement and here right into the middle of my set-up comes a guy walking in full camo. Stops next to my decoy and asks if I saw anything. MAD and UPSET doesn't cover it he was out scouting at 7am in the morning knowing full well we were there. I guess thats the problem with hunting public land. But it seems common courtesy is getting worse by the day if it hasn't dissappeared all together. Sorry for venting.

Wow vman, THAT sux! Either the guy was a total fool, or he was out to ruin your hunt. Common courtesy is not all that common anymore, but this sounds like more than that.

Better luck tomorrow!

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
