Wow, that didn't take long. Opening morning and you went to work. Way to go!!!! I hope I can do the same thing. I can only hunt 3.5 of my 5 days, but I'm going sun up till sun down!

Awesome bird, great story! I wish I had a caller coming with. I don't know if I would have the stones to belly crawl like that....I'm afraid I would get busted halfway.

Shiner, I'm counting down the days until I come to Duluth. I will try and drop by once I start working. Good luck in MI.

Man, I am so ready to hunt. One week from this morning I'll be out and about. I wish I had more time, but I put the work in the best I could and now it's time to let the hunt come to me. If I do any more I'll be overthinking things.

Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt,

Purrrr, Purrr, Purrrr

Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt, Cutt,

BOOM!

Hows going? Been awhile since i've been on, but i hope those whos hunt is come that you have a great time. i just returned from Neberaska on a tough hunt. But it ended on a good note. The leaves really poped out this week, making it easier to hide. But good luck and enjoy the spring.

Got my bird yesterday about 6:15 p.m. I will post pics, the story and contest submission in the next two days. Almost 23 lbs, 1.125" spurs, 10.75" beard

I'm going to pluck him now! Good luck to the rest (IceHawk, Orion, Shiner)

I've got a good story to go with the bird (who doesn't when you find success?), but I've got stuff to do for Finals week at school so it will have to wait a week or so.

Good luck to the rest of the Spur Collectors

Well, I wish I had bette news......I will not be contributing to the team this year. I hunted the UP hard for the last couple of days in the snow, rain and wind but could not close the deal. I will write the story as soon as I get back to reality.

I have 2 Days to go but it seems the birds are gone I hope I can connect


Don't give up. I took my daughter out this season in 219. The birds were awfully quiet but they still worked at times. She scored a nice jake for her first turkey yesterday about 8 in the morning. We hadn't heard a gobble all morning but knew from the sign there were birds around. The rest of the turkeys must have known she filled her tag as they were suddenly gobbling and walking around in the open including a big tom with a paintbrush beard dragging through the grass.

Good Luck!

    • 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.
