I thought the birds were going to be going crazy during A season last year, but only thing crazy was me wading through waist deep snow drifts. This year it's all about the nephews. I have 2 of them that want to try and get a turkey. We will wait to see what season looks good as it gets closer for them.

Just a heads up. Youth license is now good FOR ENTIRE SEASON!

I'm in for early season, but I'm secretly hoping I don't draw. As frustrating as last year was I sure enjoyed the amount of time the archery season allowed me to hunt.

This is the first year I didn't apply for an early season. Archery for me this year.

The wait is killing me , the season cannot come fast enough. I fishing is not working to kill time.

Nebraska's Fall hunt is still running. Only until the end of the month though. You could have been harvesting instead of waiting.

If you google the 2013 landowner results for spring they have the 2014 results posted. My dad hunted season C last year and applied for season A this year and he got a tag. Now I am just waiting for the regular drawing results to come out. Shouldn't be long now.

For some reason I can only pull up the current results up on my iPhone and not my computer.

That's awesome Don - can't hear to read how his hunt unfolds!

I put in and got drawn for the C season in hopes that I won't be wading through snow drifts.

I have a question for you experienced turkey hunters. All fall, when bowhunting, I have turkeys all around me. Come spring they disappear. I have drawn a spring tag twice in the past and have never even seen a bird. What kind of habitat to they tend to move to from their fall habitat?

That's a tough one. Often birds remain in the same general area, but can disperse far and wide during the spring season. Spring birds, like fall birds are where you find them. I think genearally, in early spring they seem to gravitate towards early green up areas and picked corn fields, then plowed fields right after they are turned or alfalfa fields later on. But old acorns or pine plantations can hold their interest most anytime.

Again, they are where you find them. Luckily they are often pretty easy to locate just by getting out early morning and listening for gobbles. On a calm morning, you should be able to hear them from a long ways off.

I am excited to hear youth tags are good all season. That will make my life much easier taking two kids. I have split their seasons in the past and it has not worked well for my youngest. This is going to be so much better.

      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.
