BIG BUCK FOUND


Recommended Posts

Hey guys and gals. I just left clearwater lake today and on my way home i saw a nice buck dead in the woods. Looks like it was shot and died in its sleep. The coyotes did get. But the Rack is in good shape. I know if i shot this buck I would like to get the rack at least. If any one knows of anyone who shot and did not find there deer let me know. I found It just North of Annandale, off of Mongomery Ave .103rd street to be exact.

The secret please call 612-221-1535 And ask for George. His situation matches your description perfectly and he hunts within quarter mile from that location. I told him he might hear from you. Thanks hopefully it is the match

The Secret, thanks for being a true sportsman. George is ecstatic about the crazy ending to this story. Would make a great mount someday considering the crazy story. Crazy also that you guys ran into each other the other day and made a little small talk.

Thanks again.

I dont think he should have any promblem tagging it. I had already registered it with the county. cause i didnt want to get caught with it in the back of my truck. So i gave him the number they gave me.

I didnt take any pics but maybe daydreamer could get some on here

This is how it happened,

I was leaving the lake last tuesday afternoon and while i was driving down the road, there is a stretch were i always look into the woods for deer. When i saw what i thought was a big buck laying down. After i stopped and backed up did i realize that it was dead. It looked like it just layed down and died. that is what made me think that someone had shot it and never found it. (i have shot deer, went back in the mornin to get them and found them laying like that)The size of the bucks rack made me thnk that who ever shot this has been having nightmares since, because he never found it. I figured that because of its size someone had to know that someone never found it and was having nightmares about it. SO i posted it on here and started asking a few people in the area. And it worked daydreamer knew George and got me his number. The best part is, is that i have known George for 10yrs and on tuesday After i pulled the deer out of the woods and had it in the back of my truck, i ran into George at Little Jims and we were talking about fishin. Ha.

he didnt know i found his buck and he didn't know it was 10ft away from him. Im jsut glad he was able to get something out of it.

Hockeybc69 its not the biggest buck in the woods but it deffinetly is a above average buck. A real nice 8 pionter with nice mass and tall tines , i would say it is between 130 - 140

Great story. Happy for you George! I think were all in agreement though that pictures of the rack would be a good ending on this site.

There was a 160 class 8pt (I think it was 161 green scored) that died in an acquantance's front yard with an arrow in it this year. She and her husband were able to find the rightful owner a few days later. I never saw the buck, but this was a bruiser from what I can imagine.

It is great hearing these stories. I wish there were more out there...seems to be a lot of bickering and selfishness when it comes to deer hunting and bucks now-a-days.

Great story. Let's not be knocking fellow hunters for takin 130 to 140 class bucks. That may be a lifetime trophy for some. There's plenty of big boys out there if yer after one.

Great story! I found out this year that the big boys taste like S#@t compared to the younger ones. If you want things managed for trophies buy your own land and stop trying to govern people to give a dang about the size of the rack. A trophy is different in each of our minds.Meat is meat-some of it just taste better.

"Let's not be knocking fellow hunters for takin 130 to 140 class bucks."

Any 8 pt that scores upwards of 140, is a dandy dang buck!

      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

      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!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
