I don’t blame you one bit. I wish there was a quality keypad you could replace it with easily.

I would ensure that you have the correct key for your safe. If it doesn't, it may require contacting a locksmith to make entry into the safe for you, so that you can replace the entire key lock and electronic lock.

I’m 6 months in on the replacement, so not sure. The replacement looked identical to the original, so probably still a piece of junk. When you remove the door cover you will see that the safe is just not a quality one. I’ll never buy Winchester again.

@@saponycreekoutdoors7743 I just called them they told me get a new battery with 2028 expiration date.

Love these new caps!

Mix one ounce of concentrated permethrin to thirty-two ounces of water. It will turn white when mixed. It will settle when not in use, so shake it up to mix it thoroughly each time.

Awesome! Thanks!

Yes absolutely. It has step by step instructions in the video. It is stronger than Sawyers too.

I haven’t had any issues with the ants getting into it here in NC, and we are loaded with them here.

5 beeps = cpu. The motherboard has a fault warning system on board which is designed to help you troubleshoot the issue. In this case your motherboard is telling you that there is something wrong with the processor.

@@saponycreekoutdoors7743 so my safe that is 1 year old is junk? Ima have to call support and be walked through a replacement? Thank God I have keys

@@IndianaMint unfortunately it sounds like it. I have the email address listed in one of the comments and they were fairly easy to deal with. If it’s over a year old, it’s probably a bad board. Mine was a $600-700 purchase and it went bad one day shy of being one year old.

@@IndianaMint have you tried installing a new battery?

@@saponycreekoutdoors7743 yea I tried 3 new batteries, expiring April 2028 :(

It’s definitely not a surfer’s paradise, but it has waves at times. The day before was windy and nothing but big white caps!

I went back the next day and reversed that hook and slayed them!

Really? You’re a douche? Don’t be a douche. Douches are bad. You are a bad douche. If you’re gonna be a douche, at least try to be a good one. Bye douche bag.

nah...camera made it look further than it was, but it was probably 60 yards! LOL

Had a hook on it, but turns out it wasn’t an actual trailer hook…totally wrong style hook.

It was probably 60....camera made it look a lot further than it was. I didn't even realize it was that far out until I exited the woods. But the Verdict is in. And it was GUILTY!!!! LOL

They do carry it, but as some comments show, it is difficult to find and not all stores carry it. If you can’t find it, pick you up some Buck Bourbon deer attractant and substitute it. It has a lot of dried molasses in it.

@@saponycreekoutdoors7743does TSC carry the buck bourbon? I think I’ve seen it before but can’t remember where

@@aeestep77 yes, they usually carry it in the store, but you can also order it online and pick it up if it has to be delivered.

My safe has a key lock behind the keypad to access in the event that the keypad fails. If yours doesn’t have this, it may require a locksmith to get you access.

Thanks Scott!

Thank you! Got a new video exporting tonight. I got my buddy on his 2nd bird ever this afternoon.

I hope they help you out!

They kind of helped me out I guess. My warranty was 2 months out of date so I had to pay. It ended up being $65 shipped to my door and took about 5 days. It was super easy to put in and now my safe works like it should again

I hope so too!

He is such a hoot! And he can talk smack if you come at him sideways too! Lol

This was one of my most favorite hunts so far. I wish he had gotten that bird but it was an awesome experience.

I agree. I think it helps some, but protein added to this supplemental mineral mix is going to have the best results based on what I have read from scientific studies on this.

I loved the Winchester LB when they came out. I switched to TSS when I changed out my choke because I was tired of missing birds. I did hear that the Quality Control went downhill on the LB shells for a while, but was corrected

@@saponycreekoutdoors7743so you’re blaming your choke because YOU missed birds? 😂

@@brentbusick2245 not at all. I honestly don’t know what was happening. It could have been a combination of bad shells and the choke, or it could have only been me. What I do know is that I haven’t missed a bird in years now since I changed my choke and shell set-up, which is exactly what I said in the video.

I got all of my stuff from a local Tractor Supply store, but it must be a seasonal item that I lucked up on. If you can’t find it, buy a bag of the Buck Bourbon and substitute it. That stuff has a lot of dried molasses in it. Tractor Supply carries that stuff too.

Yes that is an attractant/feed mixture, but doesn’t do anything for them as far as minerals go. That Jello trick does work though. It’s like the C’mere Deer corn soak stuff.

You're welcome....I guess. Was that too long winded for you too?

You’re very welcome. Hopefully it helps!

These safes are definitely not quality. I would have never bought one had I did my research on them.

@@saponycreekoutdoors7743 I checked mine over today, it literallyjust needed a little grease on the locking pins...

Did you ever find a solution for this? I am having the same issue it appears as you. Not sure what to do and can't find info online.

I would def contact the company at the email address I listed in the comments below. If your safe is eating batteries, there is a draw on power somewhere and that motherboard and parts I changed in the video are the only electronics on the safe. Even if it's not under warranty anymore, it would be cheaper to replace it than to keep buying batteries. A 9 volt should last about a year, though they recommend changing them every 6 months.

@@saponycreekoutdoors7743 it’s only 1 week old

When I set it up when I bought it the battery that it came with lasted 1 days so I that maybe it sat at the store to long so I bought new battery and it lasted 4 days I emailed Winchester waiting for response

You figure it out? Mine is doing the same thing

I just shake the bucket as I mix each ingredient now. Don’t know why I didn’t do that when I hit record! Lol

Good luck this year. I promise you the deer will hammer this mineral as long as you keep it down.

The deer hammered it as long as I kept it out. I freshened my sites up once per month up until the rut and they still hit it afterwards. I have no gauge to tell if it improved anything yet, as that can take years, but I plan to use it this year too.

I tried the exact same mixture here in Central Ohio but have not had much luck with it yet. Has only been on the ground for roughly two weeks but they don't seem to be taking interest in it. I will give it some more time and update. @@saponycreekoutdoors7743

I got it at Tractor Supply. If you can’t find it, substitute with a product they carry called Buck Bourbon.

Thank you for the comment. I hope they help you out.

Small update. Less than 24 hours after my initial email and they have confirmed they are sending me a new lock

@@cszero2109 it really is an easy fix. I do recommend you replace each part that they send you replacements for. Their electronics are obviously trash!

I may put a new video together as a follow-up. The minerals worked great as far as getting hammered by the deer. It’s hard to say at this point how beneficial this mix has been, as it normally takes several years to see a major impact.
