    Why are deer in the upper midwest so much bigger and more respected than those puny southern deer?? :lol:

    Midwesterners are just superior deer hunters to all those Southern Barneys.... Everyone knows there is no difference in the deer.

    Probably because Southern boys kill way more than northerners so they don't have time to get as big. Ever thought about that one??? Or maybe they have evolved to be smaller, sleeker, lighter and more maneuverable to elude the better abilities of the southern country boy hunters!!!

    Maybe because the yanks don't have the season like the Southerns! From bows to rifles and everything in between! Those deer aren't quite as sharp as a southern deer anyways! I go to public land in the Midwest and kill bigger and better than some of the "Superior Northern Hunters"! Lol, guess that makes since them being superior hunters! Ha!

    Think about it a second my Southern Barney friend... While you were in the Midwest.... You were a Midwestern hunter.

    Have to explain everything to your Southerners... :p

    That's not true. I just came and showed how to be a Midwest hunter! Ol' Barney here just is a jack of all teachings I guess, even if it is to a yank! Eh? Lol

    The difference is us Southerns don't have 1,000 acre fenced in ranches to hand feed the bucks until they are big enough to put on the wall. We have to actually stalk them not attract them with carrots riding on a golf cart.

    Another lesson to the Southerners.... Texas is located in the South, not the Midwest. :tu:

    But Iowa and Illinois are located up North and we've all seen the shows or have heard about the ranches up there.

    I've heard the reason for the success of the Northern hunters. They actually grab immigrants as they land on Ellis Island and force them to hunt. All the proceeds (deer) go to the Northern hunters. Most Northern hunters have between 15-20 immigrants hunting all year in their name. The secret is out. Four score and 144 years ago....

    I agree.... It takes a "special" person and skill set to wrestle with them gators. :hail:

    It's just to bad you Dixies couldn't translate those gator skills to the whitetail woods. :p

    I know that Bergmanns rule explains why animals that live closer to the equator are usually smaller than their northern brothern........... why not the people? :/
