Wow. I can see how the deer in Iowa grow big racks. Here the deer are skin and bones at this time of year.

Yep, 2s or 4s. Basically they're just a big duck.

Sure need a reduction in numbers. The Tundra will be completely barren if they have another successful nesting season. Maybe they'll have mass starvation, that would correct the population explosion that's been happening for the past fifteen years or so.

@Wildturkey 2 Baked with dill, parsley and lemmon pepper is a good method. Brook trout are the tastiest, rainbows can sometimes have an off taste. Fishing cold water is best. Bigger fish if you have to keep them are best candied and smoked.

Yes. I haven't caught anything big yet this winter. The lake I usually fish for walleye, whitefish and pike is about a half hour away. There is the odd 30 inch walleye in it and 40 inch pike is possible. The odd burbot in that lake too.

In Saskatchewan we have five stocked trout species (rainbow, brown, brook, splake, tiger) and native lake trout. This is the first winter that I've caught them all.

Saskatoon/serviceberry and as mentioned red osier dogwood.

22 inches of ice where I fish.

Check your fertility and you might find out why the deer don't find the alfalfa palatable. Alfalfa needs lots of calcium, phos and sulfur.

Jeez Louise, why so complicated? Here the tag has three parts. Hide, head, meat. Once separated they are canceled. Notch out the date on each and affix it to the appropriate part of the deer. Simple. Here you would never leave the rack of a deer I was thinking of getting mounted at the...

Crazy! We (Sask) only have about 5" snow here. But it is about 40 below. Deer are tough!

Awesome story. He's a cool looking old-timer. Congrats!

Catching deer in coyote sets? Sounds like you have a deer problem, not a coyote problem, lol.

That's a huge bear. Curious what the skull measured. Here in Sask a big bear will weigh close to 500 and a half dozen will measure between 21 and 22 every year with maybe one 22+ every couple years.

This is in Iowa (I think). Where baiting is illegal but trampling corn out to 30yds from your blind is ok ...

Thanks guys.. Here's a short video my buddy took of me landing a 23in brown on the 17th.

Some pics from a couple more outings. Caught one of the rainbows in that lake too, did she ever put up a fight!

These kinds of discussions are always interesting. I'd say 50% don't care what they kill as long as it has antlers. 40% will hold out for the big rack (for most it's anything over 140) regardless of age. 8% want age with a big rack. And 2% are focused solely on age. Of course no data to back...

Looks like just hit the backstraps. Good title, sums it up. Pictures like that are inspiring, makes you wonder what you could overcome if you had to.

Ya, if it's a circulation problem you're going to have to use a heat source. If you're in a box blind use a buddy heater, just don't melt the soles of your boots. If you're in a snowbank, you're going to want heated socks or insoles.
