From what I know about Minnesota you have a better chance of killing a 120"er here in AZ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I know about Minnesota you have a better chance of killing a 120"er here in AZ! Yotebuster, funny man! Minnesota will become the one of the leaders in trophy whitetail production in years to come. QDM is spreading like wildfire and there will be more 4-6 year old monsters lurking the northwoods. The "if it's brown it's down" mentality is slowly departing. Actually if you want to see some big minnesota bucks, google "Minnesota Metro area Whitetails" or better yet... check out this link from 2009 Camp Ripley Archery hunt. http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos/galle...s-camp-ripley-c Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
