weekend weather

Looks like 15-25 mph S & SE winds all weekend with 75-80 degree highs around here, YUCK! Might have to think about water. I have stands that work for those winds, but the crops & scouting tell me most of those are not going to be my prime ones early season.

Anybody else not fond of those wind directions for your bow spots?

(By the way if you complain about it on here today you're already covered if you don't score this weekend.) I wouldn't be surprised at all if I still get a deer this weekend, but definitely am going to have to wait on some of my prime evening spots for different conditions.

I agree, I don't think I'll probably sit as long though. I need to mow some shooting lanes in some new popple growth after logging near a couple of gun stands. I may get down earlier so I can work on that now & spend more time on stand when the weather's more hunting friendly.

Yea, the weather is going to suck! But on the bright side, it is still hunting. The stand I am going to sit in has a couple of different options for deer to come in by. A couple of different bedding areas. One will be bad with a SE wind. The best wind would be a NW wind. I don't mind windy conditions too much if I can see a little ways. Have connected a couple of times on windy days. You can get away with a little more movement. PS if you shoot one, make sure it makes it to the freezer or meat locker that night....otherwise by morning it might look like a horror movie smile.gif

To dang windy this weekend fellas. 29+ mph gusts.......just to windy.
Hopefully this coming weekend looks to be a bit cooler (40's) gettin' out to the stand with lows in the high 60's. A 20 degree difference! And best part of it....NO WIND (or very little of it)

    • 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.
