Congrats on a nice Florida buck tealboy!

Mauser not all southern deer are small, I can not comment on NC, but in Va. depending on where you hunt the average buck can dress between 120-140 pounds, I killed one in 74 that dressed at 175 and my cousin killed one the next year that dressed at 210. The 210 pounder dressed was one of the biggest bodied deer I have heard of in Va., but I am sure there are ones somewhat bigger. Our mountain deer are small though.
