well .,i have not hunted it but i have friends that do .,the big reason i don't hunt it ., is way to many hunters for me.,my bud was there this past season and said hunters were setting up 40 and 50 yards fromother hunters ., and when you think you have found that one spot? so have 30 other hunters., and yes there are some big bucks taken., go to the MN dept,of natural resources web site and look up camp Ripley hunt., it will tell you how it went this past year., good luck to you!!
