Yea they are quite a bit larger. I always thought it was funny the farther south you go the smaller they get ( body wise) and the farther north you go the bigger they get. I. Canada whitetails are freaking massive compared to here but down in Florida they look tiny. I have a brother that lives in Florida I was down visiting him one time and was really surprised at the amount of whitetails there but at first I was so confused they all looked like yearlings to me. I asked him why are all the deer down here so young are there that many hunters? He looked at me confused like what are you talking about? He said thats as big as they get. Lol
