I've been watching alot of outdoor shows during the off season. How come most all of the bucks from South Texas have tall racks but lack of width & mass ? This can't be genetics in all of South Texas ?

the good bucks you find in s texas with massive racks come from high fenced ranches. they have more nutrition provided for them. s texas is very dry and barren with little growth.

most s. texas deer i have seen have the same characteristics. i guess they dont need a heavy rack since they need to conserve water and energy to stay cool.
