Don't know any back story, my dad sent me the pic and said it was on Facebook

Looks like a texas whitetail to me

Most of the south, age wise, what I would expect to push 200# here was about 120# in Mississippi

I used to salivate over all those giant whitetails in Texas, then I realized they were the size of dogs. Lol makes them antlers look pretty big.

That’s more work than it’s worth.🤯

Makes the island deer here look like giants

Indeed looks like a wet Texas deer. About the body of a good sized lab.

I thought everything was bigger and better in Texas?

Pretty sure this is the source of the picture. In Mississippi

LMAO, that's not a normal deer for Tx or anywhere in the South...

It happens.  I shot a dwarf muley in Idaho several years ago. Talk about ground shrinkage!

That’s pretty interesting assuming it’s real. A pretty nice rack for a deer 1/3 the normal size.

This explains most of my blacktail hunting career thus far

A buddy of mine lived in AL while he was doing pilot pre-qual checks at Ft. Rucker. If I remember correctly, he said he could shoot two deer a day - a buck and a doe - and they were tiny. A fully antlered buck was under 100 lbs.
