Found this monster 3/3/11. I am very interested in this buck since i have seen him every day for the last 3 months where i feed. I noticed he was missing a one side. I decided to go for a walk right before dark and within about 10 min saw a few drops of blood and about 50 feet from the first drop i found the shed. He lost his other side today, but with this snow we are receiving now it will be hard to find.

Was out this last weekend for a little bit in the metro and only came up with two dead does. I cannot wait for this snow to melt. I was still going through areas yesterday up over the knee. With the warm up that is predicted this week, hopefully we'll be seeing a lot of bare ground this weekend.

Is it common for you guys to see drops of blood close to a shed? I think I remember seeing some when I found some last year and I'm wondering if that's not a rare thing?

I have seen a little bit on a few sheds, but for the most part I don't find any blood. If I see any blood that is not in the tracks, I definitely get excited.

Wow bety thats a freak deer there, really cool match! Matchset your on a roll there!

I pulled my first one today in a pine plantation. Just a little 3 pt side but its still great to get on the board. And I accomplished my goal of finding one in the snow so that was nice. Id post a pic but I cant get the pics from my phone onto the computer.

We walked another 4.5 miles today and my buddy found a decent 5 pt side from last year. I cant believe we can find a year old shed with all this snow but cant find a fresh one to save our lives

I dont know if this is the best spot to ask this but can someone please help me? I have been out shed hunting multiple times this year i think 6 times and havent found 1... I am finding nice trails and following them looking hard and not finding anything. I find tons of beds, [PoorWordUsage], rubs and everything else to indicate there are deer all there but no antlers. What should i be looking for?

Hows the snow depth down there? Theres some areas around here that still have 20+ inches of snow and a few areas(under thick conifer cover and south facing sides/hills) that barely have any snow. Almost any antler that is tines down will be hard to find now. My buddy found two last week and both were only showing 3-4" of tine through the snow. And the G2 was 11" on on of them....

Rincrat, nice sheds but they don't look like a match to me... do you have a pic of the deer? Otherwise I would say you got a shot at a couple nice 8 pts!

      2024-2025 Vermilion Ice Fishing

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Monday was my worst day of winter fishing on Vermilion in the last 4 years.  Caught only one 14" walleye in nearly 8 hours of fishing.  Missed two other bites and was marking very few fish.  Maybe the fish were taking Monday off after a big weekend.   No more water came up on the ice under my house.  Think it was because I haven't banked snow around it for a couple of weeks so the bare ice around the house is getting very thick.  I measured 38" of ice under my house and the Ion barely made it through even with the extension installed.  Needless to say I banked around the house this time.  Another lesson I learned today is don't drill holes if ice is frozen on your blades.  I did that on one hole and it didn't center properly and drilled at an angle on the edge of the opening.  Hope I can correct the location and angle on my next trip up.   Not much change in the surface lake surface conditions.  The drifts may be a little higher and are definitely harder.  There are still a few bare ice spots on the lake.  Very little activity on the lake today.  There are about 3 dozen houses from McKinley Park out to Birch Island.  Another person pulled there house off today, and I am sure many more will pull theirs off this coming weekend.  Only 13 days left of walleye season.

      Great looking food. So far not much of a game and I thought the halftime show was worse I've seen.
