I remember like 15-20 years ago when they brought in "Florida Strain" largemouths to VA and placed them in some of our reservoirs to get some bigger bass....maybe they could do that with say "Iowa strain whitetails" or "Wisconsin strain whitetails"
They did it on the eastern shore of VA many many many years ago. Brought down deer from the Saginaw Penninsula of Michigan. A fellow I work with shot a 170# doe in Accomack Co. last muzzleloader season.... and if he wasn't the modest honest guy he is I would never have believed such a doe to have come from VA. There are bucks killed over there that regularly top the 225# mark, which is HUGE even for a western mountain VA deer. And if someone in my part of the hunting world (Sussex and Southampton co) tells you they killed one over 200#s... you might should suggest they recalibrate their scales... cause it just don't happen...
