I never thought of white tail being big game. Maybe a mulie but not a white tail . I can pack a whitetailout in one trip. Big game your not going to be dragging it out in one trip, thats why they call it big game. The preperation for hunting whitetails and hunting elk, moose, bear,ect are two different identities. It would be like comparing squirrel hunting to deer hunting. If you ever get a chance to knock something down that is about 4 or 5 times bigger than you, then you'll realize what big game actually is.
If you southern boys want to call your florida deer big game, then so be it.
