I have to agree with everyone on the north and survival and food and all that good stuff. In florida I heard the deer get about 75lbs.........I've never hunted there, I just heard they were a smaller breed of whitetail.
I know in Texas we have at least 3 different types of whitetails.
We have the deer with the Looong faces, then we have the deer with a real heavy head, shorter nose, and then we have the Coues deer (shorts face, legs, body)............I've shot all 3 types in Blanco, Texas
