Who's turkey hunting WI?


Recommended Posts

First season is getting close, April 15th. Who's heading out between then and May 20th? I've got season C in zone 4, was gonna buy a leftover tag but they were sold out by the time I tried.

Got permission for two new spots on Sat and put up a ground blind yesteday in all the wind. Time to polish up the calls and pattern the gun - got some new fiber optic sights for it. Can't wait!

You KNOW I'm in! May 6-10 and May 13-17. Got some really great farms south of Baldwin, east of Ellsworth. Can't come soon enough.

What kind of sights did you get? I put some TruGlo Magnum Gobble Dots on my 870 Wingmaster several years ago. Love 'em!

Geepers, just about vomitted on my keyboard when I saw that hideous avatar sick

I have some Williams sights that I stripped a small allen screw on - got the replacement the night before my season started last year frown

Thats some pretty country by Ellsworth.

Also my first year on the Turkey adventure and i'm really excited!! My father-in-law is going to take me out. Drew Zone 1- 4th season. And bought an extra permit for Zone 4 last season. So my goal is to get at least one bird. Good luck out there everyone!

A bud from the musky club shot a tom with 6 beards last week - 2 of them were 10"! Weighed 24lb with inch spurs. Apparently will score number 32 in the state in the non-typical category. Will try to get some pics up - he's old school though so it might be a while.

I live in MN now. OH well. But I was over to take my son out for the youth hunt in the George W mead area. We had a log of gobbling right at sun rise then nothing we did work one bird three times to with in 30 yardes and he just couldn't see the bird. We will be hunting the area again the May 6-10 season.

Managed to get a bird Thur afternoon about 1:15. Went out with a buds kid and he got one right off the roost Fri morning. Know off 5 other guys that got birds last week as well. My dad heads out Wed. Time to hit the fishing hard. Good luck to all!

Well for being a rookie I thought I did o.k., I never got a bird but I did see 20 birds the first three days but never fired a shot. I guess there is more turkeys than I thought up here in zone 6. I am Now Hooked.

My pops just stopped by to show off his bird. 22lbs with about a 9 inch beard and .75" spurs. Sounds like he had quite the morning - multiple birds gobbling, had a half dozen jakes in his lap, and finally had that one slowly work his way in full strut until at 17 yards he couldn't take it anymore!

Just got back from a very frustrating 5 days in southern zone 4. Not a lot of gobbling. Saw lots of hens. Much more pressure than years past. Spooked just about every bird saw.

Good thing I have next season as well and the last season in MN so I'm not giving up yet.

DonBo - you'll have to head back there this fall and thin those hens out a bit cool That was just a warm up for ya anyways with two seasons left, probably hammer a big one right off the roost the first morning next time out - good luck!!

BTW - good to hear about holding off on the long shot you weren't comfortable with, too many guys just let er rip in such situations.

    • 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.
