I live in Sartell and was driving to work today, traffic stopped on Riverside.Looking around I was surprised to see 6 toms displaying for a hen. They had her surrounded she just kept eating and was oblivious to all their advances.I rolled down my window and gobbled as good as I could, They all answered right away.They keep replying as fast as I could gobble at them.I wish I had a video camera, this would have made a great Youtube video.Is it April yet?

Well, it is a beautiful spring day. smile

Actually, I've seen them strut and gobble at all times of the year, but cabin fever is probably getting to them right now, just as it is for us.

I've noticed the past decade of winters or so the yoy toms strutting like crazy, saw this this AM, now every morning nearly on the gravel as I'm first car through every day they'll be on the gravel strutting up a storm, however where the mature toms are I'm not sure yet, these are just young guys.

Just like any guy they are always ready. I've called them in during the fall seasons strutting and gobbling. Also seen this before during the winter times too. It's all about the ladies as it's for most of us.

Can't wait till March 31st I will be in NE with the bow. Get this season going .

My find was a few years ago. I watched him the last couple years still. Rubs up the trees in my landowners front yard. Not from north central. Many bigger sheds found since this guy. Sure is fun when I could see him on a regular basis. Top one on the link Matchset posted this one not sure where he got it from. Had a friend hold it so she could make it look bigger.whistle

Saw a tom showing off for the ladies this weekend up by Badoura...Saw two different hens that were miles apart crossing the road (MN hwy 87). I think those birds on the extreme northern end of the MN range are having trouble with the deep snow. I know I haven't seen singles like that back home in the MN and Cannon River valley areas.

    • 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.
