I recently heard someone suggest that it has something to do with the winter temps in a region. Deer in southern Ms look like dogs. There is some speculation that decreased winter temperatures cause animals to need more body mass to generate heat for survival. *shrug*

I have no references for this, I heard it in passing on a radio show.

Barbarian, congrats on your kill! I hope its delicious.
