Here we go again. I guess I need to calibrate our scales. We've weighed every deer we've killed since 1994, killed in the bend of the coosa river. A couple high 140's, a lot of 130" deer. The heaviest deer we've ever killed and he a 5 y/o was 201 live weight. It was in the rut, so maybe he lost 20-25 lbs. Festus, you must have killed one of those Michigan deer they restocked back then.

I know of a few that have been killed in Dallas County in the last 20 years that were over 250. One was 267lbs and scored 138. The other I helped load on a four wheeler. He didn't have a big rack but he was the fattest deer I ever seen. Don't know exact weight but he might as well have been 300lbs, we almost couldn't get him out of there. He fell dead near a ditch so we put the four wheeler in the ditch and rolled the deer down onto the front rack. He bent one of the handle bars on it. Then we couldn't get the four wheeler out of the ditch because it was wanting to flip over so we had to use the winch to get it out. Now that deer only scored 102, but a few days later another buck was killed a few hundred yards away that weighed 178 and scored 143. Deer are like people, you have your bigguns and your skinny ones. Back when DC had more bean fields than pine trees you could see a lot of 150"+ bucks.

Jimmy Bailey, who killed the state record B&C typical, killed two bucks over 300 pounds in the late 70's in Hale Co, both weighed on cotton scales. There was a buck killed in Pickens Co in the 60's that weighed 365 live weight. Dang thing looks like an elk in the pics of it. I saw a deer killed in Wilcox Co, 1974 er so, that weighed 285 live weight.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Why were they that big then but not now? Maybe they are now, I just dont know anyone personally who sees any like that. More row crops and less pine plantations back then. The heaviest buck I’ve killed was a 220# 9pt here in Fosters back in 1998.

I have one in my wall that I didn’t kill that was killed in hale county in 82 that weighed 285. Scored 156 as a main frame 7pt with 3 kickers. Why were they that big then but not now? Maybe they are now, I just dont know anyone personally who sees any like that. Not sure what the area you hunt is like but it’s more common where I hunt to shoot a 200+ lb deer. We are surrounded by corn and soybeans so that’s obviously a reason why. My father and I are the only two that hunt it and it’s a very large tract of family land. My largest was weighed at 235# live weight on a set of very good scales. Shot him late November 2016. Around thanksgiving is when our rut starts. Between my father and I, we’ve killed several over 200#. I’ll say that we are VERY lucky to hunt the property we do.
