Whitetails in the southern regions of the country are not normally as big as the corn-fed Midwestern whitetails, but even this deer is a little small for southern standards.

Deer & Deer Hunting has the story.
It seems like Alabama’s turning out some crazy stories recently about whitetail deer on both ends of the scale. Just a few weeks ago we had this story about the giant buck hit by a truck.
