We live in West Central MN and I have seen at least 3 good sized bucks in the last three weeks. One has hung out in our grove for the last four years and last season he was a 12 pointer. I have never had a decent shot at him and am at the point that I doubt that I would take the shot if it presents itself. I am not one who is at all interested in trophies and figure he has some good genies to pass on. All our neighbors feel the same way
