Wow, congrats to both of you, that is awesome. The two of you did great, can't wait for the story. That deer should hit the low 140's gross based on mass, but I could be a little high. Who cares though, the mass on that thing is truly impressive. .

I hunted Sat. morning, and about 8:15 I could hear a deer. About 5 mins later, I see a deer with some headgear walking thru the brush about 50 yards. There is 1 main trail that goes to my stand, and 1 main trail that goes the different direction. He gets to the split, and t thought to myself "no way are you going to to turn and head my way". Two seconds later he is coming my direction, and all of sudden he is at 10 yards broadside. I pulled back and shot....he ran off 30 yards and I saw him go down. I waited 15 mins, and I thought he was dead. I got down, found my arrow and good blood. I walked to where I thought he was bedded, and to my amazement the bed was empty, and full of blood. I thought well I must of not heard/saw him get out of his bed....so I continued on and kicked him up.......and heard him crashed again. So I got out, came back @ 2:00. Got lucky and found him 200 yards from the stand. I ended up hitting the liver, and just grazing the lung.

The buck scored 144" gross. He has four 5" (one 5 1/2") circumference measurements and 12" and 11" g 2 and a 10 inch G3. 17 1/4 inside spread.

My biggest buck to date....Thanks for all the compliments! A great year for us!

I should of played guess the score on her buck....Her buck looks BIG in the pictures.

It scored 127 gross. It has a 18.5 inside spread but the one G2 is only 6.5" and the other is 10.5".

Although her buck is smaller, she looks way better in the pictures than me.....and I am more proud of her buck than mine!

The mass makes the height a little decieving but the angle of the tines also makes it look shorter than he is. It takes a heck of a 8pt to make 140 or more. Good job on both deer. Better sart trophy room.

What are you guys gonna dream about the rest of the season?

    • 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.
