[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1968381, member: 103947"] Buddy of mine retires to Florida 6 months per year. He's near Ocala. He has lots of buddies that are resident hunters in his area. They have food plots and great management areas for deer. Some have killed nice southern bucks while others are just average bucks for Florida. The common denominator is definitely food source and age. Sure genetics helps but southern deer typically do not have excellent genetics for growing huge antlers. It's food and age that matter. Not too far from Florida north offers bigger body/antler deer. Those deer being derived from the northern strain of whitetail, not the Florida Key deer. I've heard there are a strain or mixed version of the northern whitetail in Florida also. Not being from there I do not know but the buck in the OPs pics look like he could be a candidate. [/QUOTE]
