Archerytalk Northern Minnesota Buck

 

[Stump Shooter]

Ottertail county is a little further north and west from where I am and I don't have any buddies from that area, but I can try and figure something out. There are some dandys that come out of that area! Some pretty rough country. Swampy, low land type of terrain.

Is that anywhere near the Duluth area? There are some beautiful bucks that come out of that area. They usually have the huge body to go with the headgear, even more so than many Iowa bucks.

 

[Stump Shooter]

Nope. Ottertail County is on the other side of the state and a bit south of Duluth. Some towns in that county are Fergus Falls, Henning, Deer River and Wadena.

That is a huge buck. That hunter sure has to be happy with that.

Ottertail county is in West Central Minnesota. It is farm country and lakes. Hundreds of lakes with scattered farms and some large patches of timber.

Click here for an aerial photo. Rumor has it the buck was killed west of Ottertail Lake which is the large oval-shaped lake near the center of the picture.

Wow! Minnesota has got some huge deer. That is an impressive buck to say the least.

wow, what a slob! We used to take family vacations at a lake in that area when I was growing up.

This deer was taken near New York Mills Minn sometime within the first week of Muzzleloader season.

One of our (Minnesota Official Measurers) new B&C measurers has scored this deer at 220 net green.

It will become out new no#1 muzzleloader nontypical.

Deer was realy run down from rutting, dressing only 140 lbs. Which is the size of our large does up here.

You sure he didn't wear himself out carrying that rack around?

Dang what a monster.
