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 mentioned a few things that I was learning last year from watching some streaming from On Gravel Podcast but don’t know if that’s what you’re referring to.  They showed a woody and merg hen fighting.

 

Those merg hens are usually egg dumpers.

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

Sure looks like it.  
 

I’ve had a pair of mergs returning under my main house for a week but I never see them go in.  Finally today there’s a pair of woodies by one of the other houses.  Hope they stick around.

 

Our best for 3 houses was 2 or 3 pairs of woodies and 2 pairs of mergs if I remember right.  More pairs than houses is what I do remember, so there was some sharing going on.

That's what I have heard and what I see in my backyard.

 

Hen wood duck wanted in there real bad yesterday and I think the ganser was in there.  I would have preferred the wood duck but it is what it is.  I'm just hoping to catch em making the leap.

yea i saw them worthless things there yesterday on my way home!!!!!! 🙄

I guess they run along the same lines as cormorants for you then.  Never had a strong opinion about pelicans but I sure don’t like cormorants, which are mixed in there.

I thought you were talking about deer, and totally agreed. If they didn't feed the wolves, I would not shed a tear if those worthless things didn't exist. ;)

Worthless?  Deer has probably fed more people on this ball since time began, then moo'res. 😒

Here’s one of our favorite lunch spots on the trail.!

Water everywhere made it a challenge to even get close to most of our other favorites.

Trail? Where did you find open ATV trails? I just check on Monday and the ones around Crosslake were still posted closed! ☹

    • 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.
