They aren't from this year...just showing peeps we got bigger deer than they probably think......
I let u know Sunday hopefully after checking cards but I don't think so...started seeing rubs just recently so maybe? Not sure
 
I saw an 8pt that probably weighed 140 lbs on public land once. And I’ve heard of the panhandle guys shooting big deer. I’m not saying they don’t exist (especially near private land where they have access to corn or planted agricultural fields) I’m jokingly saying they are the exception here in Fl not the rule. The weight of our average doe is around 90 lbs and mature bucks are about 115… I won’t say giants don’t exist but our soil quality and state of constant greenery just doesn’t produce the type of nutrition for the big deer you’d see in Alabama’s black belt area, New England or the Midwest.

Bingo.There are some tall, blonde, beautiful, busty white women in Korea. Just not as many as in Sweden.

Possibility is a fun mistress and probability a faithful spouse!
 
This thread made me think about an older post of my dad's first trophy buck:

Access to Quality Whitetail Habitat

So nutter, to keep this very educational thread going for all of us that have buck fever in August, are most of you guys trying to locate deer habitat that supports high and healthy deer densities in hopes of it also having mature bucks and then target those bucks specifically, or are you guys...
saddlehunter.com

That deer was shot on 112 which follows the perdido river, which forms the border between Alabama and the Florida panhandle. Maybe 3 miles from FL.
 
Honestly the biggest dear I have seen in Florida was ironically a doe that I swore was from up north. Aside from her this is the biggest I have seen
