I have hunted and sat in photography blinds for 35 years and never saw anything that came close to this monarch! This shot was also featured in the "Outdoors" section of the Mpls. Star Tribune on December 8th, 2010.

Update: I was recently contacted by a person who found this monarch's sheds in March of 2010. He entered them in the MN Deer Classic in 2011 and took first place in the sheds division. B/C of the rack in 2010 would have been around 200 typical!They don't get an inside spread for sheds, his score was 179 without an inside spread!
