Beautiful Dear species, are they generally smaller than the whitetail?

The Columbia blacktail is a sub-species of the mule deer but is smaller. Mule deer can get up to about 250 lbs, the blacktail to about 200 lbs. The whitetail are about the same mass as a blacktail, also getting to about 200 lbs.

This was the largest blacktail I've ever shot and was surely near the upper size limit.
