Here is my 7 pointer from area 343. Unfortunately we didn't have the camera in the field with us and it was going straight to butcher, so this is the best picture I have. This is also a personal best for me, after shooting 19 deer in my life (only the second with antlers).

My 2007 buck, only one in 7 years, passed a lot of small bucks, below 150 inches to harvest this 164&1/8 inch b&c buck [image]http://11-04-07_09041.jpg[/image]

cousin corey with his 2007 buck, 22.5 inside spread should gross around 180 B&C points [image]DSCN0890.jpg[/image]

Great bucks guys! Just wondering though, just because those bucks so unusually big for most of MN, where did you get them? Were you patterning these bucks, or was it just luck? Pretty amazing to see two bucks of that caliber killed by one family. I have personally never seen a buck that big in the wild, so I am just curious as to how you went about getting on those?

Congrats on those bucks! He had mentioned passing up all bucks under 150" for seven years I think. That has a lot to do with it. Hard to shoot a big buck like those if you shoot the little guys first. I'm sure there is more to their success than that but that's a big part of what I believe in.

That's what I was gonna say. I'm sure their hunting party is managing the land. It does make a difference. True fisherking?

Actually our group of 10 buddies that hunt together some but mostly apart have so far taken four over 150 inches this season. There is a lot of luck involved, but that the percent of luck is increased by letting the bucks mature. I passed on mine the last 2 seasons at 130-150 inches and was lucky to harvest him this year. Cory's was seen on trail cam, not noted in previous years. Far as I'm concerned we have the potential in mn to raise lots of big deer, and the only thing we are missing is age. If you want to shoot a big buck, the buck of a lifetime, you can't settle for a little one. I know they travel and the neighbors will shoot em and all the scenarios, but If I shoot a small buck, that's it for him. He will not get any bigger. If I pass on him and he is in the small percent that the neighbors don't kill, he can get bigger, and bigger and bigger. Note these are 4.5 -5.5 year old deer. It only takes a few years to see the results. Any buck in Mn given a few years will be a trophy. Bottom line shoot the little ones and you decrease your opportunity at a buck of a lifetime.

Shot this guy tonight with about 45 minutes of Shooting time left. First buck i have seen all year so i decided it was time.

He looks to have been a tough guy. 3 antlers broke off. THe little kicker is pretty cool. He weighed 135 lbs. Man does your heart race when you have to watch them work towards you for 10 minutes.

I watched him walk out of the can grass about 300 yrds away and work his way to 20 yards under my stand. He was heading to thick stuff so i shot him below me. Hit his spine and lungs and dropped dead. Not a bad way to end the gun season. And with all of the time i had in the stand i figured out this was my 20th deer ive shot.

Here is my 10 pointer shot opener. Not my biggest but a nice deer for our area. Not fun being back at work today after a week off hunting/fishing...

Not the biggest or my biggest, but the nicest deer I have seen while on stand in the North woods and I have never shot a 10-pointer before.

I let this buck walk to within 20 yrds of me after deciding I was going to pass on him. While watching him I began to think about how disappointed my other dear would be (long story). Well at 70 yrds I had a change of heart and took him. It was really nice to spend the rest of the weekend with her though. First 11ptr.

This is my son's first deer. I have to say, it is one of the proudest moments of my life. He's a real good kid.

OK I did not shoot these deer but they are some that I took pics of this summer in Ohio. Sorry they are not real good quality, I'll work on that.

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
