Major is 2 years old now and was recently diagnosed with Masticatory Muscle Myositis, an auto-immune disease thats taking a toll on the youngster. But none the less with a lot of work and some good advice from my friends here he turned out to be better than I ever could have imagined. I have some pictures of us together on what could have been our last ND hunting trip but haven't pulled them off of the camera yet.

BONUS: Just paid the down payment on the new pup... A viszla! Going to name him Tater (Couldn't bring myself to get another shorthair. Next to Major it just wouldn't measure up no matter how good it was.). Pictures will follow with more quesyions I'm certain.

A special thank you to all of you who helped me as a dog owner and trainer and take pride in knowing you had something to do with an awesome hunter and better companion!!! You guys (and gals) are great and greatly appreciated.full-13068-14441-majorpicture.jpg

This is CH Cruiser's Tok Gun, A.K.A. Maverick. Rock solid point at 8 weeks. He's a year and half now. The breeder finished him earlier this year and now he's doing lure coursing. Pretty cool to watch him fly around the course. Can't wait to get out after some ditch chickens next weekend! Gonna try and put the JH on him next year.

Red Dog Hill Kennels in Java, South Dakota

These kind folks started here in Annandale, Mn but moved there not too long ago. They've got 30+ years of breeding and pointing training between the two of them and from the correspondence I've had with them they're top notch.

Check out their HSOforum:

Sven and Ole. Sven (1 1/2) is on the right and a beast. We got him from a breeder that only raises beagles and hunts them up north after deer season. Given his longer ears and longer, heavier body, we think he has bassett hound in him somewhere. He's UKC registered, which I had never heard of before but then did some research and found its a legit organization focused more so on hunting dogs. His family tree shows several champions in hunting competitions (some with the word bassett in the name) but we haven't tried that yet. He bays and howls like crazy when he gets excited. Ole (4) on the left, we got from the humane society when he was about one year old. We had originally considered a lab or vizla they had there but they were both too hyper and I didnt have the time to work with them so they wouln't knock the kids down who were quite small then. So my wife said, let's get the Beagle and I grudgingly agreed. Now I'm hooked on them and have thought about adding a third (Lena). They're usually such calm, obedient dogs until they see a rabbit or squirrel and then all heck breaks looses. It's funny, like light switch goes on. They go bezerk. Ole barking and Sven howling and baying. If we lived in the city, I'm pretty sure we'd have to get rid of them due to noise.

    • 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.
