Gundeck, that is a good statement about western Va, we do have lots of pressure here, but somehow, the bucks still grow pretty well, I would love to see some get up to about 5 yrs old.

Every time I was stationed down south, it seemed the white tails where smaller. But that is probably due to the different types of white tails. I had a friend from WV that told me killed a bruiser that dressed out at 140 lbs. Here in Iowa we call that a fawn! Big bucks, the best beef, and some awesome pork chops are what Iowa is known for.

As far as the historical - cultural banter in the previous posts, I envy anyone who lives close enough to historical sites to visit them on a whim. I've been to Revolutionary, Civil, WWI, WWII, and Korean war sites but I live to far away to make day trips to any other sites.

I know dang well if I went in the southern states to hunt I would have a heck of a time judging deer for maturity, rack size, body size, ect! There body sizes aren't as big as they are up here in Minnesota and I know that would throw me for a loop! I'd be sending pictures on my cell phone to Vabowman asking him how big is this buck, should I shoot him? I'll get down there south some where some year and give it a whirl and see what its all about.

Ouch!!! Va the north!! man, you obviously have not been down Monument Ave in Richmond, Va. Take a trip to Richmond and I think you will find out very quickly that Va is surely southern. Not Northern Va, but Southern Va and Western Va, southern to the core.
yep

I have hunted Alabama a couple of times but I was Turkey hunting. I wish I could afford to hunt Alberta more. I killed my biggest Bear there and I saw deer that were Hogs, both Whitetails and Mulies:D

So I had rather go North
or West!;)
