My bro. and I got drawn for season A, which is a tough tag to get in our zone! Have only hunted the 1st season once before, with mixed results.

Early May is phenomenal; one of my favorite times to hunt in MN. The birds have been active for some time now, but are usually a bit more scattered. This (among other things) makes them more susceptible to calling, and it also means they're a bit easier to find. Don't get me wrong, you still get days where the only gobbling you'll hear is early morning, but this time period usually coincides with a peak in gobbling activity.

Get scouting for spots right now. This may dictate how successful you are come spring.

Make sure to let us know how you do, and post pics if successful!

Got drawn for Season C AFTER in zone 343 near Rochester 3 years of trying.

Really looking forward to a great hunt. Can't wait to get some chatter down the road about tips on set-ups, gear, and calling!

Until then guys there is still plenty of ice on the lakes and fish to be caught-------------FISH ON!

Can a person who did NOT apply prior to the Dec deadline buy one of the Archery tags? OR did they have to apply and not get accepted? It seems unclear, and I have not called the DNR yet. I have my permit 225, just trying to get a friend out late season now that partners can help call!

Thanks for any input...

I'll check the DNR regs tomorrow... but if I remember correctly the new rule this year is you can buy an archery tag for the last two seasons over the counter. You did not need to be in the general lottery... I'll verify tomorrow when I re-read my regs at the office.

Good Luck!

I got drawn for my first try in 338-D. It'll be tough to find land to hunt, but I'll be more available to hunt.

Can't wait to hear some tips. What does a guy look for when scouting? Besides birds..... SHould I just sit somewhere and start calling for responses or what?

I have hunted now for 3 seasons but i have only got to be out i think 7 mornings with school and all but maybe this year i will connect i a bird, i messed up on a late season hunt 2 years ago i had a bird come in and i tried to move my gun and he spooked. This was the second year in a row ive been drawn but ive gone the last 4 years because of surplus permits and the like.

What are everyones opinions on using a decoy? i think they can be useful at times but when hunting conditioned birds i think either partially hiding the decoy or not having one at all is better. what do you guys think?

      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.
