Yeah Team #4!!


Powerstroke

Recommended Posts

I figured since everyone else has posted about their team we should do the same!

We've got a group of 5.

I'm gonna be bowhunting, so hopefully so of you other guys have better odds than I do. Maybe you'll give me some hints when it comes to the late season and you've all filled out already.

Powerstroke, I'll be bowhunting in MN this year also. If I can get on the land that I am 95% sure I'll have access to again... there may be 2 dead Toms... if you smell what I'm steppin' in!

Let me work my permission magic and line the land up again. This is a new housing development on the bluffs of the St. croix that recieves ZERO hunting pressure and had at least a dozen uneducated Toms on it last year... I called 3 to within 25 yards of me while sitting in the cab of my truck just using my mouth to make the yelps. Me thinks they'll be plenty ready to come a runnin' to a couple green horn archery guys hunting the late season.

Let's keep in touch over the next couple weeks. As I've said before... "I've gotta plan!".

Good Luck!

I really likes the sound of that. I've got a publis land spot that I found good luck with last year, but its 1.5 hrs away and it does receive a fair amount of pressure. I saw a few toms late last year calling for a buddy but they were very wary.

I'll keep in touch.

236A. Forest Lake area. Our season opens in a week and a half. The flocks are starting to break up, but no gobbling as of yet. I'll be out scouting next weekend in earnest, sitting quietly at dawn and dusk with my binocs.

Jr. promised to call in a bird for me - but with his hectic schedule I may be spending a bit of time on my own.

I've seen a few single toms around in the last few days. Don't know what this 12" of snow is going to do to them though. I'm 237b on private land. If there are as many birds in there now as there were during bow season we should do ok. We still need a team name though.

Fat guys in a little blind

The gobble boys

gobble gobble BOOM!

3 1/2" of fury

I'm out of ideas...

I start next monday, the other guy hunting the property filled his tag at 6:45 yesterday morning. Said he had his choice of 6-7 gobblers. Hopefully they are still around after the weekend. Sturgeon fishing and come right home for turkey hunting. What a great place to live.

I haven't had a chance to hunt since getting back from sturgeon fishing but will be out in the morning...hopefully I'll have some nice pictures to post by 7am.

I had to get team 4 back on the front page.

Well I got us on the scoreboard, but its a pathetically small contribution to the team effort. It was a nice plump jake, 17.5 lbs, but the beard was a whopping 2" and I'm going to drive over the legs a few more times before measuring the nubs for spurs...

We had a great time though - saw all kinds of wildlife, had a coyote attack one of our decoys, saw lots of turkeys. The 2 bigger gobblers were hanging with a group of 14 hens, and we simply couldn't get close enough to them for a shot in 3 days of trying. Other than a little early morning gobbling, the gobblers were absolutely silent. Had one nice gobbler come in behind us on Day Two, but the way he came in we had little chance, and I muffed even that tiny chance....

I'll post a pic when I get a chance at the home computer.

Congrats Jackpine!! I don't care who you are, a turkey is a trophy. I bet he will taste great too.

If I had to have a goal for this year it's to see every team register a bird. I don't think it happened last year, but it looks like everyone is doing pretty well being in the second season in MN.

Congrats on the bird I can't wait to see pics.

Way to go Jackpine - I'm loading up the truck as we speak...So far two guys have hunted this piece of property and both filled their tags in less than 15 minutes. Hopefully the streak will continue tomorrow morning. I wanted to give them at least 48 hours to settle down in there, my buddy says there is a huge one in there, so hopefully he will met Mr. Remington and Mrs. Federal tomorrow morning. Can't wait....

Base hits... that's all we need JackPine! Base hits...!

Congrats!

And in the warm-up circle is our big gun... Setterguy, hit us a dinger!

Powerstroke and I are batting low in the order... it will be a couple innings before we are up.

Good Luck!

yeah,... we'll do our best with 2 of our team members only able to hunt the late archery season... team 5 was stacked like the Red Sox with all the early season hunters...

We are like the Twins... the pirahhnas... we'll just keep nipping away!

Good Luck!

Well no bird this morning, man we were defenitiley in the right spot. I would say we had at least 5-6 gobblers within 100 yards of us. One was gobbling when I pulled up at 5am. They must have all had hens with them because as soon as they hit the ground it was silent. I had two that started responding again around 7 but could not move them an inch. I may try to get out again in the morning, sorry guys I had hoped to be writing a different story.

    • 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.
