I have to disagree here. To me the deer here in East Texas are much harder to get close to than the ones that I' ve seen in the Texas hill Country.
In the Hill Country, I' ve been " touching" close to several deer! Tht has not been the case in East Tex.
However, larger, older bucks seem to act the same from one place to the other! Much smarter and more aware of their surroundings!
