A father and daughter angling together caught a catch of a lifetime. They set up their underwater camera and discovered a set of trophy elk antlers. They were able to hook the antlers and bring them up through the ice after drilling additional holes. At this time it is unknown how long this treasure has been hanging out at the bottom of this Otter Tail County lake.

ULT where did you find that? I'd like to find and follow it,maybe just maybe the antlers are from the time elk roamed the area??

yeah that is realy cool to just imagine the history behind the antlers.

Yes a small herd in NW Mn, enough of a herd to give a few permits every year,,Last I remember anyway.
 After the last glacial period Mn had lots of elk,woodland caribou.I believe the numbers radically dropped after the intense logging in the 1800s taking ALL the timber,The 1800s also had our govt killing all the elk,caribou right along with the buffalo,trying to eradicate the native peoples.

i have heard of this herd but does it have trophy antlers like the story says?
                    pun intended. lol

The herd here is having a hard time also,If I remember correctly I think it had to do with warmer weather,Just like out Moose herd here,They think warm weather is dropping the population,Some is a disease

The elk herd you guy's are talking about is located by Grygla MN which is about 40 mile's south of where I live in Warroad. Two year's ago one of those big bull's migrated up here and hung around Warroad most of the winter. I never got to see it but one night my wife came home with eye's as big as dinner plate's! It seem's that as she was leaving the casino, that big ole bull appeared out of nowhere and ran along the road, keeping pace with our car! I told her that she better go change her poo-poo undie's! :laughing6:DIRTBALL2
