You have to be mid to upper 200#s dressed to be considered big in MN. What you do today is important, you are trading a day in the rest of your life for it.

If you shot a bigger buck than that in Florida then I'll be interested.

Skinned, trimmed of head, legs, bloodshot etc. it weighed 148 lbs. hanging in the shop. A friend in Alberta razzed me about little deer in BC. My cousin in Oklahoma had a hard time believing that a fork horn weighed that much.
