Glad to hear it. I always fear that I have an opportunity at a huge buck under conditions that don't make it a great hunt. For example, I know a guy who shot a really big one by driving out into the field, parking his truck, getting out, loading his gun, taking 10 steps and a big 12 got up and he shot it. Ick. A beautiful deer, but not what I would call a good hunt.

I watched the buck I shot last year make a rub and a scrape from 35 yards due to thick brush. I had to wait prolly 15 minutes, which was a lot of fun. I know what you mean on the little bucks, they are so fun to watch, but the blood doesn't boil on them like when you were a kid. I have never had an opportunity on one quite as big as you shot, but God willing, that day will come.

I'm guessing 182 5/8", that's a hell of a deer, wish I had the time to do that kind of scouting, that's proof that there are trophy's everywhere if one puts in the time to find them.

183 1/4- Looks similair to the big one i am chasing up here, except mine has 10-12 points. I had him pattered and ready for a north wind but the farmer combines and digs the field within a day.... frown.gif.. That was the opening weekend that i had to work. Havent saw him since. Hopefully he will show his face this week.

I think it will 164 and 7/8th. It takes alot of antler mass

to make Boone and Crockett and not many 8 pts make the book.

I might agree with archery1 in that it takes a HUGE 8 pointer to make the book.It may and if it does then that is one huge 8.170 is alot of score without many deductions and alot of mass.

The 125 for Pope& Young of course will make it without any problems.But,a 170 score buck is a big boy.

I'm not putting a guess in till i see someone holding the deer... that pict is nothing I want to see in relation to the shoulders and the ears, which you cant see in the pict.. and if I dont win... who cares..

No matter what.. its a trophy and a monster buck for sure!

Bravo sir!

Glad your off enough not to win cause i would ff my offer if i had to take any 1 of those 3.Glad you are thinking of me.

By the way that shed i found 2 years ago must be off of big boy.I called the guy i had sold it too.He said if we shoot that buck he will give it back to me for the same price i sold it to him as

The big boy we been try'n to pin down this year i had a shed i found 2 years ago.From the looks of this shed and the buck were closing the gap on looks just like this shed on 1 side but 2 more years of growth.All those stickers are now well into 6-10" points.He looks like a tree with massive beams and atleast a 16" kicker

The pic i'm going to post has several sheds and 1 of my bear skulls.If you look behind the shed i'm holding in the far corner of my trunk you'll see what shed i'm talking about.Just add 2 years of growth to that.I figured when i found the shed that buck was probly a 3 1/2-4 1/2 year old from the look of his body.It was the only deer around this area at the time the shed was found Dec 26th

      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

      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"

      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?
