Texans are allowed to hunt with a proper weapon for killing Deer. It’s called a rifle. Thus, our Deer have learned to run fast and can’t put on much fat remaining small.

"Yes, miniature compared to northern deer."

That's just an adaptation to the lower average temps in the north. Larger body-mass helps survive cold temps. Not needed in Texas.
