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 :chuckle:
-
Indeed looks like a wet Texas deer. About the body of a good sized lab.
-
I thought everything was bigger and better in Texas? :chuckle: :chuckle:

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.

Yeah my dad's family is from Tampa and he said somewhere down there it was like 6 deer a year no more than two in a day or something like that. This deer looks grey like a coues deer would look to me.

That fully antlered bucks below 100# is completely FALSE lol, maybe he saw one like that. Bama's smaller sized bucks are near the coast and are probably averaging 125-160# Bigguns are 175-215#.

Well, my friend was trustworthy and he called them dog-sized deer. He did live in Mobile.

Maybe so, but he never weighed them. I grew up just north of Mobile and killed over 150 bucks in Alabama and never a 100# racked buck. I grew up hunting N mobile county, the black belt, and near Rucker/Enterprise. Definitely not mountain bucks down there. One cool thing is the Black belt actually has a Michigan strain of whitetail that was transplanted there.

Interesting. Maybe its more common than I realize but the antler configuration looks more blacktail/muley.

Skinned and gutted maybe. I have seen labradors bigger than that.
-
It's interesting what everyone thinks of its size but I feel some of you are misjudging it. This deer is tiny!
-
Ya may be seeing replies to a specific statement. The deer in the post is small...
-
Coues' deer???
