Naw trying to be a kinder gentler Sota, in all honesty he is a ghost, he was on camera 3 miles away last weekend and it was the first time my friend had got a pic of him as well. Evidently he has 7 points on the good side and his main beam is broken off on the other side. I would guess he lives in the gated community to the east of me.
No idea never heard of somebody buying a non resident to hunt central Minnesota, there are no big bucks here.
He isn't the big one. There is another 8 that while not palmated has longer tines. The only reason I have decent bucks is the gated community next door that does not allow hunting.
