First of all, Lefty congrats on that honker of a deer and sharing the story. You also have triggered an interesting conversation on actual and estimated weights.

I have a Pennsylvania Game Commission "Deer Weight Tape" that is marked in inches that is placed around the chest and that reading gives you estimated live weight, field dressed weight and weight of edible lean meat.

The largest chest measurement is 46" with a live weight of 286#, field dressed 244# and 126# of meat. Your deer is way off the charts. laugh

Once again, congrats.
