Nice Crappie! I imagine you and your brother and father are gonna come home with another pick-up load of bone! Plenty of up-and-comers too. You need them!

Weren't there any BIG ones? wink You only got 1 or 2 that might go 160... are you sure you wanna waste the fuel?!?! grin

Don't get me wrong, there are some very nice deer there, but it seems like you had better deer last year? Is the drought affecting the animals in that area?

*edit - this is a serious question, and maybe I am mistaken on last year v. this year, but I thought I remembered you posting a number of photos (kills and trail photos) from past seasons, and I know there are drought issues in that part of the country this year.

Inthenorth, Last year we only had pics of one buck that we killed, the buck I killed with the goofy left antler. My father's buck we had pics of in 2010. But his would be similar to bucks we have this year. We had no pics at all of my brothers buck.

Excluding the very last buck above, the six before that we had pictures of 4 maybe 5 of those last year. All would score more this year than last and the other about the same.

On the 20th of April it was still soaking wet down there. We planted trees but then went dry soon after. I don't know if the drought is hurting the antlers, I really don't see it. I will try to post some pics of bucks this year vs last year.

I'm going to answer for CR since I have some pics at home and all his are at work. This is easily the best year we've had for trail cam photos. Last year the biggest buck we had on camera was the one CR shot. full-26478-23346-brycamks(16).jpg

That buck had 3 stickers broken off but would have grossed high 150s with them. The buck I shot grossed 178 but we had no pictures of him and I was very lucky to harvest him. The year before the best buck we had on cam was the buck CR shot, but we only had one picture of him and it wasn't very good. We didn't realize who it was until after CR killed him. We did have pics of that buck from 09, however. The "Goofy Horn" grossed 173 I think, sorry if I'm wrong CR. full-26478-23349-big_uns(7).jpg

This year we have multiple pics of multiple 3 and 4 year old bucks, we've never had that before. I think some of these bucks probably don't live on the property but know where the mineral is because we've been putting it in the same place for 5 years now. I don't care where they live as long as they swing through during the rut. SlimnGriz, I know it was tongue in cheek, but I think this buck will break 170 (your thoughts?). full-26478-23352-hilltop8_9_12(1535).jpg

Ooohh boy DaveT... I think you guys have some magnificent deer there! I was just being smart,whistle I wasn't trying to knock em! But personally I dont think that deer will go 170. Thats a tough thing to do as an 8 (basically)... Dont get me wrong, hes framed like a 170, I just dont think hes got enough there. Id guess closer to 160. That pic is mid-July as well, so its possible he put more on his 3s and 4... I have little doubt you guys will shoot him and make me eat my words! grin

I actually think the 6x5 (or whatever he is) w/the short tines is the best grosser. Looks mature too! Reguardless of what you guys have on camera... youve done the legwork and you know when the rut kicks whats capable of being on that property! Id have no doubt more than 1 Boone has scuffed the dirt there this year! I look forward to seeing what you fellas get!

Btw... Do you guys ever find any sheds from any of those deer?

Boy... glancing back at the pictures... you guys really have a LOT of good bucks that are borderline HUGE! Too bad there are so many missing a G4 on a side...

The one 8 point on The TRUTH 35 looks like a direct decendant of "Turkey Foot".

Neat! Good luck guys! Thanks for sharing!

    • 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.
