Never know what the weather will be like that far out but in 348 this week it was windy! Same everywhere else I 'spose.

The trees are still bare. Some of the thorny underbrush is budding out but things are mostly brown.

Its dry and the creeks are low and clear. Dry = very noisy walking which made the wind somewhat of a friend.

I've found morels in the past. Just wondering if theres been any rain. I'm not asking anyone to tell me what the weather is going to be like when I'm hunting.(Over 10 days out) I find myself pacing between the clock to the calendar quite often. Maybe I'll go chase some steelies. Thanks -JD

That's the thing about MN. You can always be chasing something. cool

Too early for morels yet. That's something I miss about late season hunting.

Here's a pic of the area this last week.

Up here in Duluth, my last patch of snow just melted today. 4/24!!!

My Ski-doo is sad, but I'm pumped and my release finger is SUPER ITCHY!!!!! I'm tapin a guillotene hunt this year. My buddy and I are introing 2 newbies, but I hope I can get some good bow action on tape. This hunt is about them though. It's good that they are "Gung-Ho" but they have NOOO IDEA! Guessing they'll be lifers! Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!Anymore

I rode fresh untouched powder on March 31st. (Last day snowmobile trails were open) I rode from my steps in Duluth throught Two Harbors to Finland and back over 9"s of powder in a day.(180mi.) Trophy walleyes staging the St. Louis River, steelies running, North Shore coho salmon for the taking, loopers abound, coasters,(but you're not suppost to know about that) families of ruffers(safe for now), Superior agates and college cuties(never safe)-yet that pic makes me feel like I'm In Prison. Besides 12 chromers (happy happy brag brag),this site is the only thing keeping me sane this spring. At least now I can count the days on my fingers!

This past week in 346 was tough going to start with. The weather to start the week was cold, damp and the wind blew all week of course until friday mid-day. We were able to get two nice birds, but we didn't hear much after about 8:00 am. Saw alot of birds henned up, so I would assume your season should be hitting it pretty well as long as weather cooperates!! crazy

There is a 8 or 9 unit campground named Vinegar Ridge about 4 miles east of Rushford, part of the RJ Dorer Memorial Forest. It has a biffy, fire rings, picnic tables and flat gravel spots to park. I was there last week with about 5 other groups. There is about 1000 acres of public hunting, out the back door so to speak and several farmers in the area generally give permission to hunt or cross their lands to isolated tracts of public lands. The area is fairly rugged and wooded. But the turkeys are there.

Go to DNR state forest site and it actually has some small maps you can print. Plus if you look at google earth or local live websites you can look at really nice aerial photos of the area. The birds seemed a bit quiet last week.

when I left on Thursday afternoon there was about 33% success in camp. Sad to say, I was not one of them.

Good-Good! That has been my plan. What's up with the field north of camp. Overlays of Google Earth and other maps show it public. We didnt draw and went for surplus. By that time private land was booked! I've talked to over 20 different landowners that said "nephews comin" or "have a group that week" Livin up here in Duluth, I'm so frustrated because I really want these newbies to have an awsome experience! I have no private land to hunt. Ideally I would like to put my pop-up within hiking distance from camp. I can sit at any tree anywhere because just like you, I've had it all come togeather. These guys might want to mosey from the blind to camp. I normally don't hunt around there and any info would be HIGHLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!! Thank You Very Much!

    • 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.
