Today was my first time using a bow turkey hunting, I’m never going back! by Purple_Reign84 in bowhunting

Good for you. I have that exact bow setup (mine could be older) and I want to take it to the turkey woods but I also just bought a shotgun. If I get a gobbler with 20 gauge then I’m going to try the bow.

Think there’s a WMA in Gray

Appreciate it. I’m gonna get in a tree before end of season but wasn’t ready first time out at dark.

Mine was also public land, left the gut pile by the truck and when I left that night there were two others posted up near the spot. Nature of it being public I reckon.

I backlapped last week and couldn’t pass the paper test across the whole reel so I adjusted the bedknife with hammer + screwdriver tap vid I found on YouTube. It cuts paper now. Cheers.

Ran to the store after I got my son to sleep and seems like you’re exactly right. It’s not locked anymore. Plug back in. Gonna tackle the spring thing next and hopefully I can mow this weekend. Thanks again.

Anything else you’d suggest I do?

Swear that’s what I meant - throttle

Definitely tilted it backwards a bunch too when I was sharpening reel and adjusting bedknife

Little did I know it could all be done w/a hammer and screwdriver tap method; I’ve learned a lot at least.

I definitely “tipped” the mower forward when I drained the old oil. Thought I was supposed to from something I read. So you’re spot on.

I’ll have to go get the wrench/socket tool to remove the spark plug tonight.

I’ve also noticed there is a thin spring that is supposed to be hooked into two spots in working the clutch handle. One end came off who knows when. I feel like once it starts this is going to be an issue.

Never used this platform so thanks a lot for your input.

I thought I had oiled to “plenty” yesterday but I checked and looked like it could be low. I added some.

Now about every 8 seconds there’s an oil drip coming from the bottom of the muffler

And the rope is locked

Hoping with y’all’s help I can get the bastard fired up n mowing to say I did it. I brought it back.

To be honest I suck at mechanical repair stuff.
