[QUOTE="Dave, post: 556771, member: 498"] There is a huge variation in the habitat in this state and there are three different species of deer. Columbia Blacktail are probably the smallest with bucks around 140 and does near 100. Some run a lot bigger but on the average. The ones from up on the islands are a lot smaller at 100 and 75. Mule Deer are the biggest with 175 pound bucks and 125 pound does with some running much much bigger. The Whitetail are somewhere in the middle. Habitat and feed probably plays a bigger role than species. We have areas of 8 inches of rainfall and areas with over 200 inches. A deer living on the edge of an irrigated alfalfa field is going to grow bigger than his cousin living 20 miles away in the desert who has to eat at a fast walk to keep from starving to death.
