A Missourian and a Texan are driving down one of our beautiful back-roads when they spot a rabbit hopping across the road. The Texan had never been to Missouri so, he asks,"what was that?".
The Missourian replies, "that's a rabbit".
The Texan says, "we got 'em a lot bigger where I come from!".
They drive a little further and they see a nice 10 point buck. Again the Texan asks, "what was that?"
The Missourian says, "That's a deer".
The Texan says "Man, we got'em twice as big where I come from!"
The Missourian was now starting to get a bit ticked at his buddy's' comments, but didn't say anything. He just kept driving.
They went a bit further down the road when they passed the biggest snapping turtle you can ever imaging. Big claws, Huge head, the thing had to weigh at least 120 pounds!
The Texan, surprised at what they had just seen, asks "WHAT WAS THAT!
The Missourian, sick and tired of his friends smart remarks replied "THAT was a TICK!"

Hell,even I thought that was funny. BTW,ya'll do have much larger whitetail.
