A mature Alberta whitetail will tip the scales to 350lbs+, I've seen them close to 400lbs. I had one that was 178lbs on the meat hook without the head hide or hooves. I don't have a scale but it's not hard to tell when two guys can barely get a deer in the back of a truck that it's all of 350lbs. I don't want to derail this awesome 270 thread but I could pm you a few pics of my average size bucks. I only shoot mature deer.
