Rumors...???

I'm hearing rumors of an antelope trip and I've been teased with some tidbits of info about the trip. I wonder if anyone on the trip might have enough signal to check this post and tease the rest of you with these same tidbits???

After hunting speed goats the last 3 years, I'm missing not being out on the open prairie this fall.

Taking a fall off to hunt close to home, train a new pup, and save up some $$$ for next fall's bowhunting adventure.

Good luck to that group of speed goat hunters and let's see some pics Donbo!!!

Yes, goat hunting is fun! I've found it very frustrating where we hunted them in Western ND. The terrain is very, very flat where the goats typically are and it's really tough to do a spot and stalk hunt there. There's also a ton of water around, so sitting water is also tough. With any luck the guys will have had a great hunt down there- as hot and dry as it's been I'd sure think the antelope will be watering frequently. It might be miserable in a sweatbox of a blind, but I'd guess it'll be productive.

Oooohh, that'll be awesome!!! There is some beautiful country in the Bighorns and you'll love it! I'm jealous...

Thank You Donbo for putting together a awesome hunt and the invite to hunt with such a great group of guy's. We went 8 for 11 with everyone having opportunities on goats. It was hotter the heck in the blinds,one guy had a thermometer in the blind and Fri it hit 112. After sitting 36 hours in the blind over water and passing one the first morning I finally connected on my second stalk. We spotted him in a mowed hay field about a half mile away feeding towards a big draw and put the sneak on him. It ended up perfect with a 52 yard shot dropping him on the spot.

We all have some great stories and pic's and Donbo can tell his own.

Just remember Don,One Shot One Kill shockedwink

Beautiful buck, Sniper! Congrats!!!

For those who have not done it, spot and stalk archery for antelope is tough duty! To sneak on and take a buck like that successfully is no small accomplishment for sure. Antelope are incredibly keen critters and have eyesight that makes a whitetail look like it needs glasses. On top of that antelope make whitetail look laid back and care free- they're jumpy, twitchy, and wound up tight. Sneaking on them successfully is very difficult, but Sniper seemed to manage the task just fine. Congrats again, Snipes!!!

Got some real issues with my computer and am having a hard time posting photos, but the rumor is true. I also harvested a goat. Not the biggest of the bunch, but it was the last hour of the last day of the hunt.

I'm embarrased to even admit it, but the antelope I tagged was the fourth shot of the week. blush And the third of the DAY! shocked

At any rate, we had a great time. Was a good group of guys, good outfitter, good guides and a great cook. Everyone saw some true monster bucks, but sadly none of them came home with us.

Just like turkey hunting eh? At least you're consistent across the board! Can't wait to see your goat and hear some more about the trip! smile

    • 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.
