I can imagine they can grow big since you have some really huge bears. Lots of good feed down there and acorns too. Our mineral content isn't great so the antlers generally run smaller but we do get some big bodied deer. Not many oaks up in the northern part where I live but do have hickory here on the island. Beaches are dying fast to disease but when they produce there are always a lot of bears around.
