Texas shouldn't even be included in this thread. Like another guy already said, most of the huge bucks are imported. The other natural Texas bucks actually aren't as big as they appear. Their body size is so small that an actual 120" buck really looks like a 135-140" buck. Some of the guides on those shows even admit it. They will tell the hunter to not shoot any animal until the guide confirms the actual size because they appear deceiving. Once you get that sucker mounted and hang it next to your true Mid-West giant it will end up being a small rack on an even smaller head.
