I went on Friday. Started at 9, and was done by 11am. When I shot the second bird I was about a mile and a half from the truck. On the walk back I could have shot 4 or 5 more. I got back to the truck at 1145. In 2hrs and 45mins I saw 27 birds. It was unbelievable. The birds were holding tight too. It was a piece of public land I had never hunted before. I can't wait to try it again. Up until Friday it had been a pretty slow season for me.

We had ten roosters for five guys today in the far southwest corner. Walked mainly waterways running through harvested fields. Saw at least twenty five roosters some of which were pretty wild. Good day considering how breezy it was.

Oh i hear ya on that cody. I had to even ask my buddy if he had a extra pair of underwear after that.

Went out tonight for a half hour and my gsp pointed 5 hens. It was pretty neat seeing how tight they held.

Had a pretty good weekend of rooster hunting in the red willows and cattails. Shot two and stonebricked another one that fell in the cattails and I couldn't find on Saturday. In between dogs right now. Shot three today. All in the above mentioned cover. Saw at least twenty five roosters in the last two days although most of them were out of range. All five were young of the year birds including a real pipsqueak today who had to have been born around the first of August. There are birds out there you just have to bust hump to find them.

Hit 2 public spots this morning and - for first time all season - didn't see a bird. Saw some tracks and dog got hot a few times, but nothing. Swamps/cattail sure gave me and the dog a workout. Oh well. Can't complain that it took until mid-December to not see a bird....in the season of no birds. smirk

I'm guess you were in Western ND if you saw that many.

Left metro at just after 7am headed west. Should have hit prime time somewhere to see grove birds, open field birds or gravel scratchers. I29 was in view when I saw first bird. Did see 3 tiling crews working and numerous yards with tile stockpiled waiting for crews.

Lots of MN plates on the backroads today. Add in the sconny plates and the locals are out numbered. Need to scratch out 3 more on my way to the border but not optimistic with all the traffic.

Headscratcher of the trip. Pile of tile waiting for install crew. What's with the irrigation system it's sitting under?

Made out yesterday towards Marshall. Hit a large WMA and the dog and I headed straight for the cat tails. Hard hunting but saw about 50 or more birds. Only one hen sat for a point. Rest would bust out out of range. Saw out 10 roosters and couldnt tell on others. Saw a bunch of roosters in tree rows on private ground. Been a pretty good year in all. Was hoping late season would have been better but I cant get any to hold. Saw quite a few people out and some road hunters. With the way they were running I imagine most birds were safe. I needed to have a few more people and blockers to have a chance. Hopefully everyone has had a good year and the winter eases up. I also saw a lot of tile waiting to be put in. Sad.

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By Wanderer · Posted

      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.
