I'm not a hunter. Would this be considered a good sized deer?  |

I thought I had seen alot of deer in Arkansas, but I have never seen the amount of deer as I have up in Illinois. It's not uncommon to see a dozen at a time in suburban areas. Ridiculous.

Go to a newly bulldozed subdivision in Austin that is poorly lit...you're guaranteed to lose some tread skidding and swerving to avoid the sons of bitches...

Check this out: www.rackranch.net/Hunts_Photos_2004.htmScroll down to Bobby Lindamood. That's my brother's boss and best friend's dad. Weight-wise, it was the 3rd heaviest Elk in Canada that year. It didn't have the biggest rack but Bobby said he nearly shit his pants when he saw Bullwinkle. I know, BW was a moose, but to hear Bobby tell the story is hilarious. |

In Bandera we'd drive down the street and we'd see 5-6 deer in every yard.

thos hill country deer are a helluva lot bigger than those north texas deer.
The further south you get, the better the whitetail get. I believe that is a mule deer in that picture.

The only big deer I've seen up here was in Leo. Sonofabitch almost totaled my truck on a tiny country road.
