This might be early to start talking about, but I am all ready excited for next weekend. Looks like we will have cold and some snow on the ground, maybe a lot. Deer will have had about 5 days to acclimate to the snow. So what is everyone's plan? I really didn't see any major rutting behaviors going on this last weekend for the opener so Iam hoping to catch a rut crazy day this coming one. Have a doe on the ground between my son and I so we are looking for Mr. big now. What's everyone's plans for second weekend? I'm planning on sitting on the stand I saw some does passing through an area about 40 yards out with a big freshly worked scrape by.

I too am excited for next weekend. Been a long time since I hunted with any significant snow on the ground. Actually I have shot more turkeys in the snow than deer(2 vs 0).

I will head to my typical ridge that seems to produce every last sunday of season.

Bryan,

Small world! Not sure I've seen anyone else from New Prague on here. But yes...I'm jacked for next weekend. Couldn't make opening weekend happen this year so we are going next weekend. Probably the first opener I've missed in 10 years, and I've got the itch to get out!! Headed to 179 Friday after work for a three day hunt. Fingers are crossed for a nice buck, but I know it'll be fun regardless.

Deer are really starting to move in 225, seen 5 does and fawns last night and 7 deer with one buck chasing a doe tonight.

Another day and a half and back up to the hunting land. Not sure I can make it outside all day with a real feel temp of zero around Mora on Satuday. Going to shoot for three sits. 6:30-9:30, 12:30-2:30, 3:30-5:00. Hoping that's the secret formula for a good day. I heard my area got about 15" of snow. I have a couple ladder stands up but am hoping to sit in the ground blind. Only worry is the roof getting collapsed from the snow, it's a hub blind. Will find out in less than 36 hours smile.

Oooo, better not put all your eggs in that basket. With 15" of snow, there's little chance that's still standing. Good luck!

      Those flooding problems are a sign of your needle and seat are leaking.  If the needle has a ring around the tip you can clean it if it's brass. If it has a black rubber tip then it needs to be replaced. You can clean the needle and seat with things like rubbing compound or even toothpaste I use a product called Semi chrome. It for polishing die pins. Just clean them up after polishing.

      All of those Polaris sleds from that era were notorious for flooding and leaking. I've still got a 2003 XCSP 600 Edge that my daughter rides. As you noted, you need to shut off the fuel in those situations.

      Yes, but it could make for an amazing walleye opener.

      How old is your belt?   My old Polaris 4 wheeler with belt drive was bogging at mid range to top end last year.  Changed the belt and that problem went away.
    • JerkinLips
      Previous owner (22 years and 5,000 miles ago) said it was prone to flooding when sitting for a long time or trailering, so I shut the fuel off in both cases.   Primary is significantly worn.  I replaced several rollers and pins which helped.  I have two used clutches in much better condition that I could (and should) install.   It seems more like when I hit the throttle, but the bog could be from poor clutch shifting.  Will have to pay attention next time and inspect the clutches.  Thanks for the ideas.

      Nope, he beat me fair and square, all his.  This weather had been depressing. As it sits now we are looking at a later than normal ice out. I hate scrabbling with docks, lifts, boats right before opener. Also limits some pre opener crappie chances.

      In those years Polaris was known to put buna tipped needles in there sleds. They get a ring around the seat and don't seal shut. But if that would be the case your problem would be with the motor shut off and filling the crankcase with gas. If your plugs are brown that is were they should be. I wouldn't drop that needle down to the last grove. I would replace them before I did that. I have never had a carb with that setting. Have you looked at your clutches? They could be dirty or have a bad roller.  Does it bog as it's accelerating or when you hit the throttle?
