What's a big deer in your area... weight wise?

[Shaun_300]

What is considered a big deer in your area? Here in Ontario, a buck averages 190+, does usually over 140lbs. My 6 pointer last year was 202lbs dressed. The biggest buck i've ever seen personally is 270lbs dressed, which was shot by my uncle. He has also taken a doe that was 195lbs.

How about your area?

Just talked to a guy at Dicks Sporting Goods tonight regarding a picture of a buck on the wall. Killed not too long ago near Crawfordsville. Field dressed out at 230. That is what I call a brute. Can't say its uncommon though with all the corn and such around. Makes dragging fun!

here in Northern Wis. a 225 would be about as good as you are going to see..however there have been a few that topped 300

Whitetail bucks here over 300 lbs are far from uncommon.

That's HUGE! I've always thought that Saskatchewan has the biggest deer in North America, probably the world!

Alberta and Manitoba have some big bodied deer too, all 3 provinces hold 300lb bucks. I've seen pics of 2 or 3 deer in the back of a truck before from other places and wonder how they can fit. The deer i shot this year filled my truck box, I'll have to try get a pic from superguide, he took one. I've seen many deer that were simply put...huge!

For me probably 200-250lbs.

200-250 sometimes youll get bigger...

I shot a deer 4 yrs ago that field dressed 247 lbs. The deer I shot last year was a hog too but we didn't weigh him. I wouldn't have been surprised to see him go 225+ field dressed.

does around 180+ is big and for bucks 250+ is big, got some big corn fed deer down here!!

Hanging weight at the butcher's (head, hide and legs off), if you get one over 100 lbs, you've got a great deer.

Live weight a deer over 200 lbs is a monster body size deer for this area. Average on an average buck probably around 135-140.

[Tsmola]

around here, a mature buck usually weighs around 175-200 live weight.

"Big" is pretty subjective. Over 200 on the hoof is pretty big. Over 180 or 190 dressed is better than average.

Here in Nova Scotia there was a buck shot in 1927 that each quarter was over 100lbs.The biggest I've seen was my fathers buck that dressed 302lbs with 7 points and was 71/2 years old.
