Where I hunt is about as close to hunting kansas in alabama as you can get. Cedar groves, sage fields/ thickets, and a few big mature hardwoods. I love it, but it makes the bow hunting tough.

I killed a nice 8 last January that weighed about 175 and after dragging him 300 yards through the holler I'd have sworn he weighed at least 750.

Frankie Old Mossy Horns Joined: Apr 2000 Posts: 15,899 Elmore County	Originally Posted By: Matt Brock I've killed several bucks over 200 lbs. We have weighed every buck we have killed since 1998 on our place, and our average weight on 4+ yr old bucks is 187 lbs. Most will weigh between 180 and 210. This year the three that have been killed were 241, 206, and 154. The 154 was a 4 or 5 yr old. He was just short. Very small mature buck. 200 lb mature bucks are not that uncommon anymore. I've killed a 215, 212, 212, 210, 208, 206, 204, and 200 looking back through data. And quite a few more hovering just under that in the 190-198 range. All the deer that weighed that much were long and thick framed. Matt is that dressed weight or live weight ???? just to add,,,,,reason why i ask is i have seen some that field dressed around those weights Last edited by Frankie; 01/07/16 08:38 AM. Frankie's Page

ChrisAU 8 point Joined: Dec 2014 Posts: 1,609 SE Alabama	I'd say the misconceptions at least lies in the fact that most people are killing 2.5-3.5 year olds and calling them "mature" and therefore they think they are automatically over 200 when they aren't. A 4.5 pre-rut buck thats been well fed will most likely be over 200. Much like us. Eats a lot and hasn't been bred in a while lol.

The closer you get to the equator, the smaller the individuals become. Saskatchewan - sure. Last edited by Geno; 01/07/16 09:00 AM. Whoever is happy will make others happy too. Anne Frank

He was gutted and hung on the skinning rack for several days because it never got above 25 degrees on that trip. When we weighed him at the processor he was 215. They estimated that he was 250+ on the hoof. "Some men are mere hunters; others are turkey hunters." -- Archibald Rutledge

After that once running begins 175-190 is typical for a mature 4+ yr old deer. That I can think of 4 of the last 12 or so bucks we killed that weighed 200 or just over it.
