Howdy teammates,

I'll be hunting Idaho, Oregon and Washington this spring.  I'll be on Merriams, Rios and Eastern marked birds.  Will have stick and string as well as scattergun on all trips.  First have 2 youth hunters here in SW Idaho on 4/8-4/10  then I'm off to the clearwater country of central Idaho for myself and pals.  Then OR and WA for me then more youth hunters.  Hope to see a bunch of floppage again this spring.  Good luck to all ya.

Checking in for my daughter,she is 10 and looking to put down her second turkey. With her being a youth she can hunt the whole season so we have plenty of time to get it done. 

 

Hopefully she can get a bird even close to her first one and bring some points in for the team.

I'll be in south Texas. First season hunting em and man is it a ball. Not positive I'll have a chance to shoot another bird since there's really no such thing as public land down here, but I've been bugging my bud to let me get on his ranch and try again for a big tom!

Team one (need a name) did anyone have any success? I start Wed. I hunt mostly public land and there have been people in most of the best spots but still a couple that no one has bothered. We'll see. Name suggestions, Strutstoppers, Team Head Trauma, Team DOA, Spur Spankers. Anyone else have something?

Rylee had a lot of action on a new farm last night,called a nice tom into 30 yards and she missed. Right after that we had a jake run into the decoys and she passed and tryed he hardest to talk me into taking him with the bow,but we passed him. At 7 we had a giant come into 60 yards spitting and drumming for a hour until he finally came into 20 yards. The problem was she was so excited and shaking so bad she couldn't get steady enough on the sticks to take a shot.

Keep after him and she will get him. I had one this morning stay in the woods while the hens were in the field. He was about forty yards but never ever had anything close to a clear shot. Public land that I know was hunted first season and he acted like it. More patience on my part wouldn't have hurt either. I certainly do envy you guys that hunt within 5-10 miles of home. Everything I've got is 35 miles out. Still love it though

Well I joined the "If you hunt long enough you're going to miss" club this morning. Pulled a few feathers and that was it. I think I raised my head and shot high. Did anyone hear a loud F-bomb this morning about 7:30? That would have been me. Drive all over the country to find a bird and then miss. Grrrrr! Oh well, I get to keep hunting so there is a small positive to it. Try again in the morning.

She is still after them and hasn't changed her mind about taking one of the jakes yet. She came home early from school sick last night so we didn't hunt,landowner sent me a text at 4 that the big one was infront of the blind. Two nights ago he was pecking at it when we took a night off. It will happen one of these nights.

How do you guys rotate your pics when they are sideways before you submit them?

on my iPhone I take any photo I am uploading to HSO and hit "edit" and crop it right to left just the tiniest bit and it always comes through the correct direction on here.  100%

    • 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.
