Archerysniper and I made our second trip to South Dakota's Black Hills.  He again shot his bird the first morning there, we worked a little harder on mine. It was noon of the third day, we had just pulled a blind and were headed in for lunch when some yelping and a gobble came from a distant ridge. Lunch will have to wait. 

 

We dropped everything except my gun and Jeremy's calls.  Down into the draw and up the other side and I see some birds at only about 60 yards.  Couldn't tell what they were.  I got set at the top of the ridge and Jeremy stayed down below me about 30-40 yards and did his magic on the calls and some leaf scratching.  After much gobbling at Jeremy's calls two jakes came in at just 10 yards, then this tom showed at about 25 yards and we were filled out.  It was 1:00 straight up.

 

I know Merriam's are generally not as big as our Easterns, but this was the smallest adult bird I'd ever shot.  Still I wouldn't have changed a thing.  These are just beautiful birds.  A great end to a great hunt.

Well, he didn’t make my original rough score number.  The bathroom scale weighed heavier than the fish scale and the fish scale was closer (but under) the certified scale at work.  So we’ll go with the fish scale.  Somehow this actually makes me feel better about the bathroom scale weighing heavy. ?

I’ve never been a huge fan of those beards with that one long hair/feather until now. Longest beard I’ve ever gotten by .75 inch.

Man, I should have entered this thing.  My bird was 24 and 6 oz, 1 inch and 1/8 on both sides, with a 10.5 beard.  SW Missouri.  Biggest bird I have ever shot.


Yup!  Ya shoulda!  That is a high scoring bird - congrats!  
 

I didn’t think I’d get a good scoring bird this season but entered at just about the last minute for the heck of it.

Beat my bird by a bit.  Nice Tom Bobby!

I got a turkey but I did not fill out the paperwork as I will be in last place or just a head of the tag soup guys. I got this jake today if he went 12 pounds I am only 200. His beard was 3 inches and spurs we 1/8 tops if you could count them at all. It was a great season as I enjoyed the other birds and wildlife and relaxing with all this other stuff going on. Here are my photos

?  Just had some fun with a gobbler outside the back door of my house.  Tried to coax him into the open enough to get a pic but it didn’t work out.  Felt good to hear and feel the thunder one more time.  
 

He headed off in the direction I got mine on the 20th.

    • 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.
