Never have weighed one, always a hand drag out of the bush, back to where a 4 wheeler can get to. Lots of blow down.

If I had to guess 170-180 pounds for a decent buck.

Typical to get about 70-80 pounds of dressed meat.

I've shot 2 that I'm guessing were over 200lb live weight. Typically big bodies, small racks !!

Here's the 2 I think were over 200. For comparison, I'm 187lb.
Last years buck.

I am BEYOND happy to see this post. At a time when most news is bad, this bit brought a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. Congratulations to BOTH of you. To the Mrs. for taking the reigns and gettin' it done and to YOU for picking the right wife.

We're very light on snow here, compared to normal, too !!

Thankfully, lake levels were all very high, at freeze up, but that will make for problems in the rivers, at break up !

Have a great winter guys !
