It's getting close to the best time of the year. I'm getting gear ready for this spring this weekend, I broke one pole on a blind during Muzzy season so that is being packed up and sent in. Going to A-1 to get an order of arrows in then I should be ready for my archery hunt. Hoping to get a new shotgun before I get out with the smoke pole. Head to NE first, SD , MN if I get drawn for season A, WI(C)and then 2nd trip season E for WI.

 

All my calls are ready do have to pick up one box of shells and that should be it. :)

 

Ice fishing holding me over until I get to hear that gobble

I've been thinking about it real hard that's for sure. I picked up new arrows at Cabin Fever yesterday and fired off quite a few. First 3d shoot of the year is in 10 days. 

 

I need to double check gear, but I know my blind was solid and I'm still cutting through the box of shells I bought two years ago. A box of ten sure lasts a while when the birds are within 20yds. 

 

Spring plans currently include NE for sure. Nothing else is set. I am trying to plan a hunt for my sister and daughter (same age, 14) for here in MN. I've also been geeking out on Kansas as well as maybe a trip to Black Hills, SD. Not sure on plans for myself in MN, but I'll be sure to give it a go.

I've been toying with the idea of SD, NE or KS myself.  You know how to reach me.  ;)

I pulled the trigger on a new gun.  Sale + rebate + coupon = good deal.   I've been considering it for about three years now...    I am planning three trips currently to MN, SD and WI to hunt a new area with my youngest brother since he moved out that way.

Good luck Cheetah break that bad boy in this spring

 

Just bought my main tag for WI yesterday and my surplus . Just got back from a quick scouting trip and shed hunting to NE this last weekend. Birds already breaking up down there was way ahead from years past. Seen gobblers out and about by them selves no other birds around was strange but very good for us coming up on our hunt.

Go to a license agent and buy one for your desired season.

Season C, is on process thru May 2nd.

Season D, is May 3rd thru May 9th.

Season E, is May 10th thru May 16th.

Season F, is May 17th thru May 31st.

Season F also allows anyone with an unused tag from earlier season to hunt this period as well.

 

Hope this help PF.

How do the over the counter licenses work this year? I missed last season but would like to get out this year even though I didn't apply for the lottery.

Anyfish is correct,I will add you can buy a archery tag and hunt the entire rest of the season in any turkey zone.

If I understand correctly this only for bows. I have a crossbow and from what I understand it is considered a firearm. Is that the case? My son has a bow and has the archery tag.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      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.

      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.
