it depends on terrian,whether,food,and genes. big bucks get big because the eat corn,beans,clover in the midwest.plus the midwest has harder winters big bucks got to survive.most of the terrian is flat not many hills,less calories for bucks to burn.and big bucks turn noc turnal,that is why some big bucks get real big.plus you add food.monster bucks get grown in these areas.and one thing to rememeber is that some seasons don't last long in these states. the south there is a few monsters get killed every year.but up north it is not nothing to see a big buck. i have hunted in illinois big bucks up there.
go deep hunt hard.
