177 - 7/8"

That is an amazing deer. I would agree, this buck would fit in well with the other "bachelors" at the Owatonna Cabelas.

If we have a tie i'll take both the winners but not on the same days.I want a 1 on 1 hunt.Tie='s 1st person to guess the score if not the exact score.If 1 persons guess is just above the gross score and someone elses guess is just below thats a tie

Not to completely go off subject, but if this isn't Big Boy, what is? What kind of buck is Big Boy? I am starting to see it in my sleep, even though I don't know what he looks like:)

Coach

Go back a couple pages and look at the shed i had from 2 years ago.Thats bigboy.Just add 2 years of growth to everything plus a few more points.Then add another side.Well into the 200 class.My best guess is close to 250 non typical.That shed alone was 87"

The other side i never found i had seen him a couple times this year and that same side i had the shed of has several more points on it now.His other side has a few less points but the tines are much longer

The shed in my hand must be from the same family.If that buck survives the war zone he will be back on the wintering grounds we hunt.Last season he escaped by the hair on his nose.1 more step he was a goner 1 of 2 deer i have ever seen walk a few steps backwards and turn around not to be seen until the season was over.I think he heard someones heart pounding away he was about 7 yards from the stand feeding on tree branches

I was watching the whole show from 70 yards away in another stand and maybe he heard my heart pounding but he knew the jig was up

Hopefully I'm not copying any other guesses - but by my calculations I see a gross score of 191 3/8" of antler with over 12" of deductions. One heck of a deer...I am looking forward to the hands on picture. Great job!

btw - I work in Prior Lake and drive by the 27/21 intersection every day looking for that monster you spoke of on a different post...saw a nice 8 coming out of the park the other night in the rain...maybe someday he'll grow into a good one. I also want to say thanks for offering this opportunity, but if I win, I'd like to give it to my 17 year old brother. He has yet to arrow a deer and has killed only one wee buck with a gun.

      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
