IME there are two categories of big bucks in Canada,from New Brunswick clear to Alberta(never hunted BC).
There is your average "big";and then there is REALLY BIG! ........
IME there are two kinds of 300 magnum shooters....those who don't have a clue,...and those who know EXACTLY what they are doing.It ain't hard to tell the difference.
That's an astute comment followed by an all star quote! BobinNH, you're on a roll.
I'm more familiar with mule deer in BC. Several of my friends who have killed truly huge bucks have all commented that the big ones are like a different species. A hunter from Ft. St. John used to post here had scale weights on mature mule deer bucks that would blow your mind. I've personally seen two on a scale that field dressed over 300 lbs. and boned out a few others as big or bigger.
Huge does not mean greatly more difficult to kill however, just big.
