Everybody seems to forget that the deer in the midwest are also a different subspecies of whitetail from the ones in the southeast. Just like our normal Virginia whitetails dwarf Key or Coues whitetails, the Northern whitetails dwarf the Virginias.
A bunch of us in GA have the big genes already in place due to restocking. I’m not saying it’s exactly the same, but 250lbs is not uncommon here. I’ve seen a bunch of dead MW deer in person and a bunch more from SW GA and there ain’t a whole lot of difference.
