RE: big doe pic
Very nice doe. I shot a huge one years ago when I lived in North Dakota.
It weighed in at just under 200 lb. The reason the deer get bigger the farther north you get is because of the climate. Bigger deer are more apt to survive the cold winters. Its just another one of mother natures little tricks. That is why Florida deer are so small. Combine the climate with farmland settings and that makes for some big animals. A wildlife biologist told me this.
