Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting What Is It About 300 Pound Deer?

I have seen four in my life that sorta looked like this one;3 mule deer and one whitetail.

One was in Wyoming,and when he stood from the buck brush, his head was hidden and due to distance and light conditions, I thought he was a small elk at first....until his head came up,and I just gawked....it was obvious he was old and on the mend....rack on the downhill side.I did not shoot and killed a 30" 1/2 hour later from the same spot.

Another on the Peace River was dogging a doe, early November;not much rack, but I killed him because I knew I would likely never see another that size....he hog dressed 230# on scales in the butcher shop...I have no idea what that made him weigh alive.

The other two were also Alberta bucks;both,and especially the whitetail,are too painful to talk about...
