Looks like a winning team to me!  So, what's everyone's plans?  Who's hunting where?  When?

I've got a MN archery tag in my pocket, and two WS tags, one for late April, one later in May.  I'll probably use my new 20 ga.in WS since it's a turkey virgin.  I've got exclusive permission on two great spots in the metro near Stillwater, and a new 200 acre spot in west central WS that promises to be hot.

14 days, but who's counting?

Hi Guys!   I'm Bill.   First off let me say I'm looking forward to being on this team. It's been a couple of years since I've last been on a team.

My season will start out in Nebraska for their opener. I've never been to NE. before so this will be a new state to add on to my list of states I've hunted. Going to give it a go in North central area on public lands to start. Will do some door knocking if need be, and I'll see if I can't make some private land connections when I visit one or 2 of the local watering and dining holes out there. From NE. I will be hunting MN. C season around the Granite Falls/Sarced Heart area. Been hunting down there for many years. After that, it's off to SD. for 4 days to hunt on a ranchers place who has become a great friend over the years. 22000 acres of land to roam on chasing those Merriams. Been drawn for WI. for the Zone 1 E season. Got connections down around the Stuben/Boscobel area, but we'll see if I go to that one or not. That's going to depend on how I do in NE. Might go back to NE. if I don't fill my tag out there on that first trip. Love chasing those Merriams!

As you can see, I like my turkey hunting!

Hey fellas,

I will be hunting in Wright County the entire season as I will be only using archery.  This is my 3rd year in a row trying archery only for turkeys.  I had two great opportunities last year that I didn't cash in on.  One was so close I shot through the material of my blind.  The property I hunt is pretty good and with the nice winter their should be plenty of birds.  I will settle for the first legal bird as I have yet to stick one with my bow.

Good luck to all!  I am excited to read your stories!

Hey everyone. I'll be hunting MN season B in the Henderson area along the MN river. Unfortunately, this year I am unable to take vacation for turkey season so I will be hunting every morning before work up until noon or so, but do have the weekend for a couple days of all day hunting. That's the bad news. Good news is that we gained permission on a couple larger pieces of land that should provide great exposure to birds that are pressured off their usual spots that get hit hard. This will be my fifth season hunting turkeys and I'm looking to make it 5 years in a row bagging a tom (knock on wood)! Have been scouting a few times and the birds have been grouped up quite a bit still. One morning I counted 36 birds on one of the new pieces of property. Needless to say, I've got the itch!

We're all here, any name ideas?  I like pfunk"s quote:    "Knock on Wood"

Hey guys, with some of us starting to hunt already tomorrow, it sure would be nice if we had a name before we start registering birds.  Anyone have a problem with "Knock on Wood"?  Otherwise lets throw out some other ideas.

Works for me

My supervisor told me today that I cannot call in sick  tomorrow or for the next two weeks. I should've never told him I was excited to go turkey hunting. I will be hunting hard Saturday morning through Sunday night and for the first time I hope to help my team.

" Knock on Wood" is fine by me. Good luck to you DonBo on the opener, and to you Monster this coming weekend. I will be getting out up here in Brainerd area in the morning with a buddies young son. He's skipping a day of school. He hunted last year with his dad, but had no luck. I'll try my best to call one in for him.  May have to wear our snow camo though as the ground has turned all white from the SNOW we are getting now. Did put a tom to bed tonight so we will see what tomorrow brings.

Evening hunts can be very productive...

First gobble 5:45. Lots of gobbling now at 6:00. All about 100 -150 yds west of me. Let the games begin!

3 longbeards flew down near me, gobbling at everything I had, but they drifted back into the woods. Haven't seen or heard anything for a while now.

    • 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.
