I’ve hunted up in that area many times for deer. Hunting elk up in northwestern Minnesota is a once in lifetime tag. The terrain in that area is flat as a pancake. I have heard that the elk migrate between Manitoba and Minnesota and the are definitely impressive animals. There are mostly open fields up there mixed with hardwood thickets. Access to the private land is easy because most of the farmers want them out of their hayfields. Once you locate a herd the hardest part would be dropping them in an area where you can load them into a truck, because even dragging a deer out in those hardwood thickets is a chore.
