We will have to agree to disagree Pete. I have 3 bucks that I'd call big on the wall that all came from MN public ground. All from northern St. Louis Co. There are guys on here that shoot a lot more impressive deer than I do from MN public ground as well. Does it happen every year for me? No. Not even close, but that's part of the fun for me. The hunt.

I hunt other states as well and will agree they do have more deer than northern MN. I have dozens of trail cam pics, again, all on public land in MN of what anyone would call a trophy buck.


Camp is where you make it.
