Tons of deer(and turkeys and huge trout) and the bucks are at least as good(if not better) than those in SE MN. If there was more QDM(which is getting to be more every year) it would rival the best counties in IA and WI(it sort of already does). The land that kl9 is referring to had a 176" taken off of the western half(that is not for sale) 3 years ago by a good friend I work with(his family owns that farm and is selling half due to a death in the family). Drive through some of the small towns down there and stop in any bar, restaurant, or feed mill and take a look at what's hanging on their walls.
