JN - you must have been on the river all weekend.....I couldn't believe how long it took you to notice that post!

You babysitting DD for his season this year? ;\)grin.gif

I don't have a good feeling about this year - have 2 tags to fill before mine in 5 days crazy.gif Then I was on the ol Miss when the leftover WI tags went on sale - missed out on a zone 20 tag for the last season cry.gif Gots to go online now and see how far I have to drive for a leftover tag, if there are any sick.gif

huntingmaxima hasn't found us yet.

225 is considered east central MN.

If you look on a MN map, it is about the northern half of Isanti county and about the northern half of Chisago county. Extreme Sounthern Kanabec County and southern tiny little bit of Pine county.

440 is south central MN. New Ulm area.(mostly riverbottom land by Fairfax) Private land and only 1 other hunter using the land for the opening week, so they have 4 weeks with hopefully? no pressure.

Hooks, those are nice prizes.

Huntingmaxima, glad you found us. Good luck in So. Dak. Where are you going? I spend a week in the black hills every fall.

Sabo, happy to have you with us too. Sounds like you got a good spot.

Cooter. You taking some rookies out who will get the first shots? Won't hold that against you. I did that last year, took a first timer. Five minutes into his first day-a 25 pounder! I shamed him into taking it to a taxidermist. 25 years of turkey hunting and I have never shot one that big.

Good luck to all, stay in touch.

Joel, nothing personal taken. But that Wisconsin thing? I believe it does make the kills go up. It's worked wonders for me. grin.gif

I meant more the after-hunt cheeser bar stories makes your kill #'s go up grin.gif. Once had a guy at the Woodshed (Bloodshed) in Hager City tell me about a 6 foot turkey he shot. I think Cooter's heard all my stupid WI stories by now.

I've hunted WI a handful of times. Mostly up and down the river across from Red Wing near Plum City. Two tags, as well as another opportunity vs. MN definitely makes the kills go up! Agreed.

DD and I are hunting MN together, maybe WI? I'll be with a bow in MN and the WI season we drew overlaps. Decisions, decisions. Both if at all possible!

Was down at the river a few times. Mike and I had been doing pretty well. Check out the pics in the "Big Eye's of 2008 post".

I'm starting to get a clearer picture of jnelson now...

Guys, before you go off on your hunts, check out the rules again. You will need a camera, tape measure, scale, witness, etc.

That's the best part; I'll concede that 'rak is a better walleye guy than myself, but that night I dinged the biggest. Of course he goes out two nights later and gets a bigger one.....but I won that night!!!

Taking pictures with other people's game should be against some man-rule. Man-foul or something. grin.gif

We have a first time turkey hunter in our group so he pulls trigger first - although I'm not sure if he'll get out of school for Thurs or Fri. Thus I'll likely have Wed morning to myself. Plus, his dad(the third in our group) is capable so those two can hunt together and I can go alone....though I want to help and be there when he gets his first bird. Have to git er done Wed!

Just got back from SD. Never fire a shot. I passed on guite a few jakes, but my brothers were on the lucky ranch this year. We came back w/our birds but I struck out. The birds are still in big flocks, needs to warm up to get those hens going.

huntingmax, it's tough hunting out west when the birds are all flocked up. Still nice to get out in the woods though huh?

Better luck next week.

    • 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.
