They have ranged in excess of 100 lbs difference over 12 years of data collection on our place, from upper 130s to over 240. Average is 189. It’s easier to use body characteristics over weight. With the range fluctuating so much I don’t think it does much good to use it as a deciding factor on whether to shoot. Our heaviest this year was 219 lbs and lightest was 158. Both the same age and killed well before the peak of rut. They’re like people. If you took 100 random men from this site and measured weight, chest girth, waist girth and height it’s going to be all over the place. That's very interesting and informative. Matt, let me ask you this. At what age does a buck typically develop the dark head patch on top of his head? It seems to appear at about 3 y/o. Would you agree?
