I weigh every deer I kill. Our mature bucks will go 180+ if not rutted down to 200 or more depending on age. Mature does will go 110-125 with an occasional but rare 140ish

If you hunt normal / average land in AL, a lot of bucks will live and die on "your place". I know they would where I hunt.

Would you really let a 5, 6, or 7 year old buck walk cause he "looked" like he weighed 180?

This Buck was killed today at our place in Perry county. 206lbs

I was thinking the exact same thing!

It's a lot easier on the wallet too. I wish I knew about skull mounting when I was younger cause I have several I'd have done

I've killed three over 200, and my brother has killed about that many. That's a pile of deer over 30+ years hunting for both of us. They're not very common for us, but we don't kill many over four years old either.

I have killed 3. They are few and far between now due to the change from agriculture to pasture land and hay growing.

I've killed several 200-220lbs. My cousin killed an 8 that weighed 248lbs in my backyard. All in Perry Co.

Biggest we have killed on our place in Monroe Co is 237, 225, 212,and a few more that just broke 200. We have not killed a 200# buck in years. A good friends son killed the heaviest buck I have heard of in years in Awin a week ago that weighed 260#.

I killed this one on opening day of gun season in 2013 that weighed 206...This is the only buck we've ever killed on our farm that weighed over 200 lbs (in 14 years of hunting our place). Our mature bucks normally weigh anywhere from 150 - 190 lbs.

my grandson killed his first buck saturday on my place. It was probably a 3 yr old 9 pt with a few years to get bigger framewise and he weighed 170 lbs before I gutted him. Pretty sure he would go 200+ if he had reached full maturity Never know for sure, he be dead!

Killed a 6 year old 8 point that scored 126 3/4 this year that dressed at 203 and live weight 257

I've killed 3 different ones. 205, 215 and 219. All weighed by a processor. 205 & 219 were killed in Macon County. 215 was killed in Bullock. Most people just guess at the weight.

Pics?

There's a lot of 200 pound plus deer around home.

This one

I've killed 5 over 200lbs all in Shelby and Talladega county the biggest was a huge 5pt that weighed 196 dressed so don't know what live weight was. But my biggest racked deer was a 5 or 6 year old 13pt that didn't weigh about 150 he was real short and stocky looked like a bull dog.

In my opinion, when you kill the deer has a lot to do with it. Near the end of the rut they have lost some weight and might not make the 200# mark but would have a few weeks earlier.

The bigger question here is who has killed a 200+ pounder and loaded it in the truck by them self with no help from contraptions? I have once. Don't think I will do that again.

haha, I have. Took a while. Pulled the head up to tailgate high and tied it off, then got into bed, lifted antlers till I could almost stand and dead slid him into the bed by standing and arching my back while stepping back. Prolly put my ass in the hospital now....

I killed a 252 pound buck once and my wife and I took 30 minutes to load it into bed of truck. Same method with some help.....
