Good luck guys! Never thought I'd say this, but, I'm glad to be done with this season. It's been a pretty good one, but the weather has been brutal for the most part, and my boat is feeling left out. Gonna try to make it up to her this weekend. smile

The past two days have been gorgeous! Cool enough in the mornings that there are zero bugs and the birds are still very vocal! Had a lot of excitement today, but once again they gave me the slip. Heard a shot next door though so someone faired better than me. This is the latest I've ever hunted, but it's still a blast! Good luck to everyone chasing birds around this final period!

My daughter says she wants to hunt, but not sure when we'll get her out. Since the license is only $5 I guess I'm going to get one & we'll see. Bought her a .22 this week, which she was all gung ho to shoot last night & had fun with. We'll see how it goes after she shoots the 20 gauge...

Took out our little girl. Had a pair of 10in studs gobbling there heads off but when they saw each other one took off after the other one. He was about 50yds when he turned to chase off the other one.

Came back and then got to about 40yds and and off to the side we couldn't shoot thinking he would go there the grass line we spun around and were ready to shoot. Then he saw the other one again and was off to the races chasing him around. Never did come back out, but she thought it was fun. Hope to get back out to them tomorrow night. As she is going to be at her grandma's today and tonight.

I'm trying to fill my archery tag. I have two spots a few miles apart. I hunted yesterday a.m and today a.m. I hit the first spot at 4:55 and listened for gobbling (both today and yesterday) not a turkey to be heard. Tried soft calling still nothing. Got in the vehicle and drove to the other spot. Heard one gobble to the west and two to the east yesterday. All three were distant. Went ahead and set up in between the gobblers. Never heard the west bird again but the two to the east continued to gobble until about 9:00 am. Never saw them and they drifted away to the north.

Went back this morning, and one gobbled to the north. I went out and set up the dekes. I had a hen calling from the woods along the north side of the field I'm in. I called back and two gobblers sounded off a little deeper than the hen. They both quit gobbling at 5:45, I figure they hit the ground and some hens were waiting. The hen kept talking to me and at 6:15 she walked up to the dekes. She hung around for 30 min and headed back to where she came from. She visited 4 more times before I left at 10:45. Never heard another gobble all morning. I will hunt part of everyday and hopefully find a lonesome tom. It's been a tough year so far.

Been a busy couple of days and had to replace our fridge so I hope to get out this week once or twice and I hope the weather cooperates looks like the wetness is going to be around most of the week, but I think I can use it to my advantage if the sun makes an appearance once in awhile.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.
