2007 Deer & Bear Pictures

Very nice deer Charles. I dont know if you care but it might be worth it to take the rack to a certified scorer to see if it is big enough for Pope & Young. It looks to be pretty nice and could score well. It looks to be a 9 and it does take a very nice 8 to make the book, but it could be close.

Great deer. Good job on the pics too. I especially like how you have some fall colors in the daylight one with the leaves on the ground etc.

My first buck with archery. I was planning to hold out for something bigger, but when he came by so nice, I couldn't say no.

Yesterday AM.

Nice deer and shot. When they give you a great shot, its hard to let them walk by. A buck is a buck.

Congrats.

Nice deer guys! Things should really start heating up over the next 2 weeks! Good luck to all. I will be spending as much time in a tree as I can over these next 21 days or so grin.gif

Well everything came together for me last night. Arrowed a nice 10 pointer! I have pics.,but unfortunately I have to find the adapter to my camera to plug into the computer so I probably won't get pics uploaded until late tonight after 10PM because of work.

I got on stand last night about 5:05PM and did some light rattling and grunting and using The Can Call every 20-25 minutes. Around 6:10 I did a series of grunts and hit the can a couple times. About 7-8 minutes later I see a deer walking the creek edge . After he came out of the brush I noticed it was a nice buck. He was walking with his nose to the ground like he was trailing something. He was about 75 yards from me and then I hit the grunt call a couple times. He never stopped so I blew it real hard. He then stopped and stood still. I grunted then twice with one long grunt and one short grunt. He turned and trotted to me like he was on a string. He stopped about 21 yards from stand broadside and that's when I double lunged him. He ran about 150 yards and of course swam across the creek and made it half way up the bank and expired. After tracking him, falling into a drainage ditch up to my waist and draggin him up a steep ravine I finally got him out to my truck about 9:30PM. Lots of work , but well worth it. He is not real wide, but his tines are long and high. Definately biggest buck of ever taken. Hope to get pics up by tomorrow. After reading the post and seeing the pics the last couple of days it really got my blood flowing to get out. I wasn't able to get out for over a week and it was driving me nuts! I had a strange feeling about last night that the bucks would be moving and I guess I was right. I think things are starting to really heat up now and the chase faze is picking up. As I was tracking him I ran into alot of nice rubs and scrapes. Good luck to the rest of you and now is the time to be in the woods.

Congrats, can't wait to see the pics. This sight is great for information but can drive you nuts when you hear stories like yours and I'm sitting at work. grin.gif

Shot a doe this morning. I was asleep then I woke up and to my surprise this doe was 30 yards in front of me. drew back and let her rip and man did those rage broadheads release their rage inside her.

Here is the buck I shot Mon. night. Sorry it took so long.My 5th buck with a bow and by far my biggest. Best thing about taking this one I've passed on probably ten to twelve bucks smaller than this the past three yrs.and it makes the wait all worth while.

Well that sucks, apparently something in the title won't get through the censor.

Here's an idea, substitute the "(contact us please)" with "steve 88 d" without the spaces and see if that works.

snooze.. awesome buck.. name it different in your photo bucket acct.. and it should work.. not sure what our filter is doing to it.

It's the steve 88 d that the filter is catching and that's the account name. What's that other web site people use beside Photobucket? I think I'll just start an account there for FM photos.

Just me but I drug him to a little bank and backed up on the low end so the tail gate was just about level with him. I tried loading him a flat ground but I could barely get his head up high enough.

Congrats Snooze. I think I need to get looking for Mr big since so many FMers are shooting some very nice deer this year.

Congrats to all for these great pictures and deer harvested.

Here's an 8-pointer that I shot Sunday morning. He's not a monster like the last couple of posters, but I'm plenty happy to take him. Twenty yards, double lung shot, he went about 80 yards. He responded to a doe bleat the previous morning but didn't present a close enough shot.

Notice that he has both tips broke off? The buck that most likely broke his tines off turned out to be a bigger 8-10 pointer that came in 30-minutes later. I had to watch as he came through broadside at 25 yards. crazy.gif

I shot my first deer with a bow and my first buck ever on saturday morning. I couldn't find my cousin's treestand because it was too dark so I sat in a log pile. I grunted him in and shot him at 20 yards. A half hour earlier I was drawn back on a bigger buck but it was still too dark to shoot. Oh well I'm happy with this one. It's hard to see in the pic but it's a 9 point.

CONGRATS man, very nice deer and the fact that you shot it on the ground is all the more impressive.

      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!  
    • jim curlee
      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
