Sorry to hear about this break in. Is your cabin located in Wrenshall or somewhere else. We do have a stolen forum for this type of thing but I'll get an answer to your question.

I'll surely keep my eyes and ears open...

Barometer sorry to hear about your loss. I will talk to my friend that lives in Wrenshall and tell him to keep a look out for your stuff. I would also go to both of the pawn shops in Cloquet and give them a heads up.

Going to the pawn shops & cop shop tomorrow. Thanks for spreading the word jimalm, even if I never get my stuff back it brings awareness to other people. The mounts are the most sickening things I've lost or had taken from me because there not really replaceable. I've posted this on a popular for sale site also, Duluth & Twin cities. Anybody have any other ideas to get the word out?

You shouldnt have posted that on the sale site just kept your eyes open on there for someone trying to sell your stuff, now they might see that and not go that route.

I really can't think of anything other then the pawn shops in Duluth or the one down in Finlayson called Northern pawn. You might want to put ads in the Manny's and in the Evergreen down in Moose Lake just in case these bums do try to sell the stolen items close by. Good Luck and I really hope thew screw up and get caught so you can get your mounts back.

Barometer, I work at a taxidermy shop in Duluth and we see alot of mounts come through. Sometimes for repairs or people trying to sell them. I will keep my eyes and ears open.

Sorry to hear. I'd keep an eye on the popular online auction sites as well. Good luck to you.

I would put a add in the paper that said I wanted to buy a 10 point buck deer mount and sit back and see if you get any answers.

Assuming you dont get them back and assuming you have a picture of either the mounts or the bucks themselves when shot, you could have Artistic Anglers make you a reproduction set. They do a great job.

Hope you get them back and I REALLY hope there isnt someone out there bringing them home to his wife saying this was the buck I shot last fall when he was actually in the bar all weekend.

Hey Barometer I talked to my friend and he told his boys to about the stolen mounts in case they should over hear something at a bar or at work. They went out and checked there hunting shack to make sure it was good. Hopefully something good will happen soon or they screw up and get caught. These type of people need to get busted.

Man, that stinks. I would keep an eye out on the big auction site on the web. many sell mounts there for pretty good money.

Barometer, if you have photos of the mounts it can help a great deal. Not many deer have racks that look the same. Those photos can be post at taxidermy shops. As somebody may look to have the racks re-mounted. Check all on-line sales for taxidermy mounts or racks.

Barometer,

I just noticed this ad selling a 6x6 white tail mount in the Sioux Falls, SD section of (it won't let me post the full name of the website) craigs____(dot)com. It may be nothing, but you could pretend to be a buyer and have him send you a picture of the mount just to be sure it's not yours.

whitetail shoulder mount 6x6 net score 170 - $1 (sioux falls, sd)

I did an eebbaayy search for whitetail mounts and found 224 results. Might want to do the same to see if anyone of those are yours.

It makes me sick to my stomach to hear this and I hope the scum gets what they deserve. I don't understand why anyone would want to hang another man's trophy. They didn't earn it, they don't have a good story or memory to relate to. I don't get it.

      Opener and the week after were good.  Not the numbers we normally get but better quality in the East End.  Not surprised on the weights for the Auto City a.  Usually for us we only catch a few slot fish but we averaged 3 a day for 10 days.  2 overs, biggest 27 inches.     Our best luck was 12-16 feet for quality.  When we went deeper we caught more but smaller.  Bass were really starting to heat up.  For me little earlier than normal.  Found some nice Bluegills the day we went after some panfish.  Dock fishing was as many as we wanted per usual.

      We will be up on June 8th for the week. It will be our 13th year in a row staying on the lake.  I hope the walleye are hitting the bobbers by the time that we get there.

      Those are some fine specimens. Great job
    • gimruis
      I'm quite shocked to hear that a walleye tournament is still doing a live weigh in.  Virtually every event these days around here is doing a catch, photo, and release format.   Regardless, nice work.  Congrats.

      On the south end...   A great week of fishing with walleyes and saugers caught in good numbers.   The go-to presentation, again, was a jig and frozen emerald shiner.  Emerald shiners are a staple in LOW and walleyes love them.  Other minnows worked also, but emerald shiners are a favorite of anglers for good reason.   The Lighthouse Gap area, Morris Point Gap and just in front of Pine Island held nice fish in 17 - 21' of water.  Various schools of walleyes and saugers across the south shore.     A quarter ounce jig in gold, glow white, pink, orange, chartreuse, or a combo of these colors tipped with a minnow worked well again.   Some big pike and jumbo perch being caught by walleye anglers. On the Rainy River...  Some nice walleyes were caught on the river this weekend, although most anglers normally head to the lake.  12 - 15' of water is holding some nice fish.   Sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River is closed until the keep season starts up again July 1st. Up at the NW Angle...  Some nice walleyes being caught along with a mixed bag.  12 - 25 feet of water.  Points, neck down areas and bays with warming water were holding good fish this week.    The go-to presentation was a jig and minnow as on the south shore.  A mixed bag as is common around the Angle.

      Nice work!   Here's two words you hardly ever hear anyone say anymore.  "grateful and humbled"   
    • Brianf.
      RLG, thanks for the shout-out!     Jeff and I are still trying to wrap our heads around what happened this past weekend.  We are humbled and full of gratitude  for having won 'The Classic' for a second time.     We practiced through all the rain on Thurs and the wind on Friday and found six different spots holding big fish.  Fishing was good on both days with several 'overs' in our catch...but would it hold up for another day?   We didn't know.     On tourney day, we made a long run to our first spot where I lucked out on a 26.5"er on my second cast.  Jeff followed up with a thick 27" er a few minutes later, which turned out to be the big fish for the event at 7.26lbs.  We finished out our limit and weighed-in at 10:30 am for the welfare of the fish in our livewell.    There were some big weights in this event which would have won in most other years, but - for whatever reason - this was our day.  Everything just went our way.  Again, we are just super grateful and humbled by this success.  We also want to congratulate all the other anglers who did well and give a big 'thank you' to the tournament organizers who put on such a great event!

      I had a good start to the season on opener. Fishing was slow but consistent. I had four eaters in the box by lunch dragging perch raps. Crappies were biting. I haven't been up since so don't know how things have changed since then, but I'm sure the walleye continue to migrate out into the main basins.

      Let’s start this by congratulating Brianf and son for winning their second City Autoglass Walleye Classic last weekend. These guys know how to fish.  We just got to the lake for the season. Chores are almost done and I’m ready to fish.  red(new dog is more yellow)labguy

      I tried starting a 2024 Lake Vermilion Fishing Report topic but it doesn't show up on this board.   Maybe somebody else knows how to do it?
