Thanks Guys, and thanks Cheffrey for posting the pictures. I will let you all know what he scores in two months. I have to wait that long to get the offical score. Early estimations are between 190-200. Thanks again, and good luck out there!

Nice bucks guys! Hopefully I'll have pics of a pig to share after this coming weekend. I'm feeling good about friday the 3rd. Nov. 3 has been a good day for me in recent years and the weather looks prime for the weekend.

Saw 8 bucks today and was real close to lettin loose on a nice 9 pointer...but that was only cause I was freezing and thought about how nice it would be to have an excuse to get down and warm up. He was solid 18-20 wide with good mass just didn't have enough height to do it for me. The does seem to have altered their patterns from what everyone hunting in my zone today had observed. They just weren't anywhere which is a change from being everywhere. They're probably getting run around all over the place by the bucks. Which is fine by me. After getting down this morning I went right out and bought some new boots. 1400 grams of thinsulate should make it easier to sit tmrw morning. Pfister, whats going on in your chunk of woods?

279lbs? That would've been the biggest buck in north america in 2003. How many awards did you win with it? You shurely won all the contests in northern MN?

Tom's buck was huge but I doubt it was the biggest taken in north america 83walleye. If so, where would a person find this information? I'm pretty sure there must have been one or two that tipped the scales past 280. Anyways... I'm looking forward to my three day weekend and hope to fill my last possible tag. It's been reported that the shooters have been funneling past my stands daily but I've been at work from dark to dark. Now I'll be in the tree dark til dark and hopefully have good things to share soon.

I do not enter contest's! Sam cook had a big right up on this buck it was the biggest buck that year and was in the top five as far back as 1978 I was very happy with this buck I shot him at 42 yards in the chest he went 25 yards. I was so happy with this Deer that I now I may never shoot one like it again but he looks great on the wall and I relive the hunt daily what a buck.

I remember back when Tom shot that deer and it was in the paper and I think the news as well. I remember thinking what a PIG.

Now that I know Tom and have been to his house I got a chance to see that deer on the wall. All I can say is its BIG and from the pics the body was even bigger.

I dont know what it scored or weighed and to tell ya the truth I dont care. ( Not like its a 33" walleye or something. LOL. ) All I know is it was BIG.

Good job on that one Tom now quit making excuses and get your butt another one like it or bigger. Sounds like some on here doubt ya. Who cares though you know what you got goin. wink.gif

I used up a day of vacation time from work to squeeze in another day in the woods before WI opens and it was made worthwhile in the last half hour of the day. No, I didn't get my buck, but I had a chance to meet him. I saw lots of deer and rattled in some nice little bucks that would be great elsewhere but it's still good and I should be able to do better..."better" doesn't begin to describe the buck I saw tonight. After 150" I have difficulty guessing size so I'll comfortably say he is well beyond 150 inches. I'd like to think he's definately in the 170's and better perhaps. Huge 10 pointer with a split G2 on the left side with multiple tines at solid 15 inches. With his ultra tall rack and chocolate horns he looks alot like a mule deer. He was chasing a doe and was unresponsive to all of my efforts with the exception of the buck roar and wheeze. He dropped the doe and came about twenty yards...just enough to tease me...and then he was back to running her down. 60 yards was the closest he got but that was good enough for tonight. Friday is my last chance for about two weeks and I hope to put one through him. It's moments like I had tonight that keep you in the game. Good luck to everyone this weekend.

Saw lots of bucks today. A few more steps and a 150" 10 pointer that I rattled in would've got the shaft but hey, that's the story of my season. Lot's of close encounters but I just can't get it to happen. As Tom said the deer will be safe for a bit. I will also be carrying the rifle in the land of cheese. It will be the perfect escape from my bowhunting frustrations and more opportunities to kill deer. At $2 a tag I plan on doing a fair amount of herd management. Does beware!

  • 2 weeks later...

Well, 4 for 5 so far, with one doe tag left. Personally I am still seeing decent numbers of deer and trying hard to get a harvest on film. Dorked my chances on a doe last week cuz I was monkeying too much with the camera though. blush.gif I havent seen much for bucks lately, just a medium 8 pt. a few nights back. How have the rest of you guys been doing??

The past two weekends I spent in WI with the rifle and I'll be bowhunting now fridays, saturdays, and sundays for as long as it takes to fill my buck tag. I'll also be videotaping a few hunts here and there. Sure would like to be done soon though...ice is coming!

Yes I'm still going at it. But have been distracted by the ice fishing that is now starting to heat up.

      Nope not me.  May want to go nextdoor and ask around?

      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. .  
    • SkunkedAgain
      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!
    • PSU
      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
