County Highway 14 , New York Mills, MN 56567(Otter Tail County)

Located southwest of New York Mills this property is known locally as the "Big Buck Swamp" of the area. The hunting history of this property and the neighboring properties is well known with one of the largest non-typical ever shot in the state of Minnesota. The seller reports that around the middle to the end of October the big boys start to show up and cruise this property and every year the cameras pick up some true jaw-droppers. The community scrapes pop up and every buck in the area hits those scrapes. The land is intimidating but is not as bad as it looks. I put on hip waders to get back to the high ground and could have made it with just regular rubber boots. There is a pallet trail to follow and once you are back to the high ground look out because man it screams "Big Swamp Bucks"! This swamp is also a major wintering yard for the deer and when things freeze up and the temperatures drop the deer migrate to the safety and thermal cover this land has to offer. If you are up for a challenging but rewarding property look no further.
