I believe here in WI the average age of deer taken is 2 1/2 years old and range just under 200lb dressed which makes them about 225lb live weight. It is not the size of the animal that can make them easy or hard to kill, it is there nervous system, witch WT are high strung and a sensitive system, where MD are a bit less fragle, and elk and bear even less.

Too many calibers and not enough time for the working man to hunt with them all.
