Can you tell me more? Was it a reintroduction effort like we have in my state and several other surrounding states or is it native herds? I didn’t realize they had elk in Minnesota.

Mainly reintroduction, but a herd crosses over the border from Manitoba. Agricultural interests have essentially blocked any further expansion of the herds. They are also working on a reintroduction in parts of NE MN that is being opposed by ag folks in that area.

DNR: 10 percent of Minnesota's Grygla elk herd poached
The DNR is seeking help identifying whoever is responsible for poaching two bull elk that were part of northwestern Minnesota's Grygla herd.
This was a crazy story from almost 10 years ago. Sugar beets will grow some big antlers apparently.

My first thought. No way you are wearing a stocking cap the past 2 weaks. Nice bull regardless!

It was 90 degrees a few days ago up here - I doubt one would wear a winter hat like that. I am guessing this picture did not occur this week. But exciting none the less.

This why I apply every year here in Minnesota, for a chance at a beast like that.
