Army--depends on the area you hunt. For my area, the deer are small. I would say a good sized doe field dressed is 90-100 lbs.

A good sized doe here In Minnesota would dress In that 120lb range. It takes a heck of a doe to hit 120lbs.

I live in Manitoba. My largest weighed doe was 128lbs (bow)and I have pics to prove it. Although I had killed 2 does(rifle) earlier in my hunting life that would have beat her hands down. It depends on where you are and what time of yr. A doe killed in summer hair with little fat would gain alot of weight with a winter coat and the fat needed to make it through our winters.
I wouldn't even venture a guess at my biggest weight wise. Although my first deer ever was skinned and had the legs cut off below the meat line and it went 110lbs (Only meat locker deer)........ I've had2 biggerjust by eye. A southern deer I would have no clue

A mature average sized doe in my areacan dress out between 120-160lbs. How ever there is an occasional freak of nature. The biggest doe I ever shot was 198lbs dressed out. She was an old dry doe, probably on her last year or so since she only had 5 teeth left.
