RE: biggest doe?
I don't know about records or anything, or if they even have a record book for does.
But my biggest doe was 125 pounds, I got her with a shotgun from 50 yards in North Carolina. The biggest I've gotten here in Georgia was about 115 pounds. But my buddy got one with his bow about 10 years back that was 260 pounds from what he said and he had pictures. I guess it had a hormone problem and it was as big as a horse.
My guess for the biggest doe ever would be 400 pounds. I think that it would have a hormone problem and it would grow the same way a buck would, but be passed up by hunters more because it would have no antlers.
"Hey ya'll, watch this"

RE: biggest doe?
The biggest that I have ever got weighed 200lbs dressed I thought it was a young elk at first Dnr weighed it I took it in for TB testing and what they said that was the largest that had been checked in about 6 years I asked them if they knew what the largest doe taken and they said back in 1959 a guy shot a doe in the Upper penninsula of Michigan that dressed out at 331lbs so that would make her around 390 or 400 live weight that's a cow

RE: biggest doe?
I walked some deer to my buddy last year. Ened up shooting 3 does and a mature buck(I'm guessing 180 dressed) all within a 5 min period. One of the does was just as big as the buck(body). That is the biggest one I've seen, and it was a hog.
