[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5521495, member: 20583"] For the area maybe, but around here it's pretty normal. I got a call from taxidermist this morning about my deer. He said the form I picked won't work because the deer's neck is too short. Full rutty neck but too short for a shoulder mount that shows brisket. He said it's not uncommon for my area. I giggled because I already knew that. The deer was a 5yr old 10pt that wasn't as big as a lot of yearlings. First year TN had the velvet hunt I shot the 10pt in the picture. On trail cam and on hoof he looked like a big buck. And proportionately his rack is big for his body. But I'd be surprised if he weighed 100lbs. My brother was visiting from Ohio and was hunting with me. He burst into hysterical laughter when we walked up on the buck. On trail cam the buck looked like a big 10pt, but he's used to that deer up there being 250lbs. I've tried telling folks about these mini deer but nobody seems to grasp it until they see it in person. They look like deer. They act like deer. They're just half the size. I don't believe it's dwarfism. But I don't know what it is. I've been told it's from reintroduction but I've also heard credible sources say it can't be. So who knows? Nonetheless, parts of the state have a variety of miniature deer. [/QUOTE]
