8 month old retrieving machine.  I think she’s up 12 the past two days, both water and cattails - for birds.

 

We haven’t bothered to count how many shotgun shells she brought back. 😄

Well she is a Eco friendly dog at least! 👍

that would been fun to watch!!!     

It was fun but also stressful!  I waited over 2 years to have those swans made and today was their first hunt and those were the first birds decoyed, and in about 10 minutes.

 

Poked a dang hole in one.  Left a little down in the tear for a souvenir.  And it’s heavy canvas.

 did you get your old job back???   always was wondering...    


I did go back full time but still doing the business part time; evenings, weekends and PTO for the bigger jobs.  I’ve worked 25of the last 30 days and hunted for 5. 😉

I've never hunted over a dog that policed brass. I know ya can't explain the whole process, but can ya share how to get one started . 

That's one special pooch.

Just a major oral fixation with that dog.  It’s a good thing and a bad thing.  But I’ll take her in my boat - sometimes… 😉

Did you bring it back for a patch?  Or didn't you want to see him cry! 😲

He likes to know his stuff works so I showed him.  We’ll do a patch and paint after the season ends.  Two holes and a cracked neck now after a second beating I was too far away from to stop.

You must setup in their "house" and they didn't like it! 😠

Hope that's not going to be the reaction all the time, or they may end up as lawn ornaments?  😐

And now you know why nobody else uses Swan dekes.

:D

 


Yep, trumpeters are territorial and I’m not incredibly surprised by the reaction.  And I don’t like following the crowd.  Never have.  


I can handle the extra attention if it means the divers swing in a little deeper than without.  I like 1 shot kills and no lost birds.  The swans back off with a shot across the bow if a little shout and arm wave doesn’t do the trick.

    • 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.
