In the New England states I've hunted, deer are typically weighed when checked in. The heaviest deer I've checked in was a 9 pt. taken in southern NH. He dressed 208 lbs. NH has a big buck club every year. To make it the deer has to field dress 200 lbs. or better. That buck was number 22 that season.
My next heaviest was the first deer I took on my property last year. He was an 8 pt. that dressed 173 lbs.
That first deer was early in the NH MZ season. The second was at the tail end of the rut during Mass. shotgun season.
In Miss. we never weigh a deer and to be honest, I've never killed one that I thought would dress out more than 130-140 lbs.
