I personally have never paid for a shed, other than a big 6 point elk shed. I only bought that because the price was right, and i figured I would never find one in Minnesota so...( found it in an antique shop) I also would never sell any of my sheds. I often get asked why not, but theres just no way I could i guess. Priceless to me. I would consider buying a nontypical shed, something with a drop tine, but the price they are asking for those thingson ebay is insane. Ill try my luck with finding one myself. What are you trying to sell anyways? Just curious. Not interested.

Hey fishing realtor(Drew)

What house did the owner find the ex buck sheds in? The one next to that vacant lot? 2nd from the end with the cedar fence going around?? I have seen him in the vacant lot there about 5 times, and its also where the pic was taken. I wonder why noone has gotten him, seems to stick to the same area. I found 6 sheds back there this year, but not his. Just kinda curious if that was the house that the guy/girl found them in.

This is the 4th Spring I've been on this board & I have to say there is usually a big dip in the exciting/ fascinating/ personal posts & reports here between hard & soft water seasons. The Looper posts come & come & go, smelting is another staple, still this post is one of the most entertaining & fun ones I've ever seen here! Thanks shedfreak ( you should broker a deal between your friends book & Rick for ad space ) & thanks to all the other posters! grin.gif Seriously good fun...

Is it possible we will never run out of topics...?

Shedfreak,

The home is on the lower side with a gambrel or barn style roof.

was out yesterday and got my first of the year, 6 points! have been out probably a total of 8 hours this year so it felt good to get this one. I'll probably try to make it out again this year but things are greening up a little fast. This goofy winter didn't help much for finding sheds either!

I'll have to show this to my buddy down here in the cities. He collects them and would really appreciate the pictures. If you are ever down here in the Twin Cities and you see a UPS truck pulled off the road near a dead deer and a guy with blonde hair and glasses stop and say Hi. There is a good chance that it is my buddy. He carries his saw with him on his deliveries. Again thanks for the pictures.

So thats why I see so many deer without skull plates and heads When I head south! He must do a lot of deliveries on the same route I drive. I as well make sure I always have my saw in the car with me... (Contact Us Please) UPS drivers... I have yet to beat him to the punch it seems. I havent gotten any antlers off dead deer on the highways. I appreciate all the positive feedback on the thread. Shed hunting becomes more popular every year. I get the same thrill out of finding a shed as I do shooting a deer practically. This thread will die off shortly as people stop looking and concentrate more on fishing and the upcoming city hunt. But you are all right, its been fun hearing about everyones sucess. Looking fwd to seeing some picture posts from the city hunt, it will be cool to see if some of the ones that are shot are the previous carriers of some of the sheds myself or some of you have found. Ill be sure to post some pictures from the north american shed hunters convention this weekend. Ill be bringing my bib along to make sure I wipe off all my drool, im sure ill be doing a lot of it!

i already posted this in the deer-bear-moose-etc. forum, but thought this post is a little more viewed than the other one so i was wondering if you needed some sort of permit to take antlers? Some lady i know is trying to tell me i need one in order to "harvest" antlers.

      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
