[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 877774, member: 1863"] I think I still hold the record for our lease in regards to field dressed body weight. About 8 years ago I killed a big 9 point that had a field dressed weight of 256 lbs. We weigh all of our deer on the farmers cattle scales. This buck was 28" around the neck when measured 2" behind the ears. Absolutley massive. We mostly see field dressed weights of 190 to 230 lbs on 3.5+ year old bucks. I am not sure what live weight would be. I saw one this year, an old buck that I would guestimate to be 7.5 to 8.5 years old, that was gianormous. Long, big belly, thick chest and massive neck. He might push 300 dressed weight by my guestimation. Here in Tennessee the average mature buck will dress about 140 lbs. We see a 200 pounder once in a great while. I see tons in the paper where the hunter claims it will weigh 200 but having weighed and helped weigh hundreds of field dressed deer in my life (worked at a check station as a teen), I know they woukld barely make 150 soaking wet.
