Despite an abbreviated event in 2020, the Minnesota Official Measurers still scored more than 100 antlers and

other trophies at the 2020 Outdoor News Deer and Turkey Classic last weekend at Canterbury Park. What follows are the top three scores in each category. Listings include the name of the hunter, score, county where the animal was taken, and year it was taken.
