Exactly. I do believe there are "big" bucks everywhere, but really...what is "big"? I believe its allrelative to where you are. Big in IL might be 170", where as big somewhere else might be 120" ....etc. Don't get me wrong....I agree thathuge deer can and do live just about everywhere, its just that the avg sizes of your typical "big" deer differ greatly both in body size, and rack size depending on where you are. Statistics prove that.
