From its location and all limbs attached I would call this one roadkill! It also looks like someone was feeding it corn.

Back to nature it goes.

 

Your comment makes me curious if deer have the same problems digesting corn this time of year as they do in early and mid winter.  And in an area where corn doesn’t make up Any regular part of their diet. 🤔

Just had a conversation this morning where we’re hearing farmers talk about finding dead deer out in their corn fields since they’ve been able to finally get out.

 

“Been gorging on corn and killing themselves”

 

”Same thing will happen to cows if you let them.  You have to moderate what they can eat or they get sick.”

Deer are everywhere up here eating anything they can find. They have been coming in my yard and are eating any vegetation that isn't still covered by snow. Here is a pic from 3 days ago and I'm not sure what it was trying to eat there.  Maybe dead leaves from last fall?

Is this where I go "Screw what those farmers and professional's say, I'm still putting out that corn."?

Stopping the corn feeding is catching on about as fast as catch and release fishing did in the 90’s.  Bird feeding and bird flu are a little bit behind that.

Pretty sure in the natural order of things deer are supposed to be scrawny in the early spring.

True that.  And others to be fat in the spring! 😏

Kind of, just tell the farmers to stop planting corn end row to end row,  leave some native habitat and stop tiling everything and removing all the tree groves 😋

I've seen a hen wood duck and a ganser fly in and out of my duck house but I think the ganser won.

Wasn't there some dispute between the Woody and Ganser last year?  Or something that cleaned out of the Woodys eggs and she had to start all over?

I think that was somebody else that was worried their house got cleaned out.  I have always had a wood duck nesting, but I think she's usually got a few kids that grow up to be mergansers.  The gansers always check it out.

 

I checked again a bit ago and think maybe this ganser is gonna have a baby wood duck.

 

Last year I had two wood ducks in the same nest and like 40 eggs.

    • 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.
