This big guy just showed on our camera a few days ago. The pics aren't completely clear, but we are trying to determine how many points he has. What do you think? And what the heck, what do you think he might score? smile

Holy carp. That's a hog. I see at least 18 points in first pic. Lots of junk.

Main beams are crazy long. Lots of inches on that rack. 170 - 195".

Points? Score? Who cares he's a shooter!

Tough call cause he's got so much junk, and I'm sure some are scorable, some maybe not. Counted 20 the first time, 16 the next lol.

Mid 170's - mid 180's is my guess. Hope you tag him so we can find out

Always easier to count points when you have them on the ground!!! smile

Awesome buck! Hard to tell, but it looks like a mainframe 12" w/ a bunch of extras. I see around 175-180", maybe more.

It would be easier to count the points if you told us where this deer was. GPS coordinates would be best. Kidding. wink

I counted 17 but it's hard to tell if there are some smaller stickers on the right base. Great looking deer for sure.

I can tell you he's somewhere south of Bemidji and north of Mankato. smile We had pictures of a 12 point with a drop tine on his right beam last year and from the shape of the mainframe it looks to be the same buck with a lot more this year. Never saw him during the firearm season but he showed up on camera during muzzleloader so we felt good he made it through the season. He's leading a charmed life under the cover of night, we'll probably have to step on him during a drive to see him.

I'd guess in the 150's. I shot a 171 gross a couple years back that had G'2 measuring 11" I had quite a bit of deduct so he netted 151. Nice wide but not super tall. Either way a very nice animal good luck crossing paths with him.

Well, it was a bittersweet day today. The big guy hit the ground this morning....for the neighbors. I got the confirmation picture this afternoon. I'm stopping over tomorrow to see it for myself, I'll be able to share details like number of points and inside spread tomorrow night. I'll get some pics to share but they will not be in the field. I do have a field pic to share, but don't want to share the identity of the lucky hunter. If someone with better skill than me could scramble the hunter or omit him from the pic, I could send you the pic to share. Thanks.

Well the number of points is official now. 21 points, 25.5" inside spread, dressed 238#.

Wish he had been on our side of the fence.

Wow!!!! That brute has NO neck! What a buck.

Posted

Wow. What a impressive deer!

Posted

Wow!

Posted

Wow is right, even more impressive here than the trail cam pic.

Posted

Trail cam pics never do the mature bucks justice. Sorry to hear you didn't get him, but at least you got to see him up close. Just think if that boy had some tine length!

Posted

WOW!! That is one impressive specimen. I bet he has more kids running around than Adrian Peterson.

Do we get to hear which county?? Taken in a stand or doing a drive??

Sherburne County, St. Cloud area. Taken on stand chasing off a smaller 8 pointer.

      I moved the clips on the jet needles up to the top groove to lean it out.  This eliminated the mid-range bog and the sled accelerates well even when warm.  The plugs are not quite dark now, but look good.  I'll have to rebuild the Mikuni carbs this summer for the permanent solution.  I'll also repair or replace the primary clutch to eliminate that issue.  Thanks for all of the suggestions.

      No.  I tried posting a 15 second video a while back in the accepted MP4 format and it wouldn’t play.  It sucks.

      On the South Shore...  There is still some ice fishing taking place by some hardcore ice anglers, but most have called it a good year.  For those still getting out on the ice, fishing has been good.  Most resort ice accesses have been closed for the year.  Safety first always.   Ditches are running along the south end of the lake which means water is running into the bays.  Moving water will soon pop open the bays and anglers will be out open water targeting huge pike while they head to spawning areas.  Pike fishing is year round on Lake of the Woods and can be excellent during the spring in back bays. On the Rainy River...  Spring open water fishing began over a week ago and has started out very good with some big walleyes being caught and released!     As of April 8th, the Rainy River is open to the west of Baudette and gaining every day.  With warm temps in the weekly forecast, not only will the ice deteriorate quickly, but the walleye bite should get even better.  Weather forecast in the next week shows 60's.   There are three boat ramps open.  The Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier Access (about 8 miles to the west of Nelson Park) and the Vidas boat ramp just east of Clementson and the Rapid River.     Most walleye anglers are jigging with either plastics or minnows.  Use bright plastics such as chartreuse, orange, pink and white.  Some are slowly drifting a jig with a minnow such as emerald shiners, fatheads or rainbows.     Trolling crankbaits against the current is also effective and will catch fish.  This is also a good technique to cover water if you are not on fish. Rainy River walleye fishing is catch and release from March 1st through April 14th on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.  Initial reports for sturgeon are also good.  Anchored up in a hole or on the slope of a hole with a no roll sinker and sturgeon rig is the ticket.  A sturgeon rig is about an18 inch leader with a 3/0 or 4/0 circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers and emerald shiners.  Here are the seasons for sturgeon fishing...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th. Up at the Northwest Angle...  It has been a great ice fishing year up at the Angle.  While there are a few locals still getting out, resorts have pulled off their fish houses and called it a year.  There are many areas showing open water primarily where there is current.  Progress to open water is being made.   The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well.  You can fish for sturgeon through May 15th.

      If you stop by Kramer lake on 38 north of Rapids someone made a chair out of a hospital commode and a lunch tray. Been there for 20 years.
