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.
