Just how big can a doe be here in Illinois?

[uncle matt]

Mostly I'm asking about height but curious about the weight too.

We got a big one that's been on the property and this just might be a very special weekend for her. She seems gigantic.

Of course if we bag her my questions will be answered.

I've seen some impressive sized Does over the years. The largest I've ever personally seen was a big ol' Doe at one of the local "Big Doe" contests we held many years ago. This beast of a Doe actually field dressed 205 lbs!!! That is the largest Doe I've ever seen!!! I have seen a few more that dressed over 160 lbs but nothing close to that 200# gal!

I was gonna say prob 200lbs....I believe I saw a friend take a 160lb dressed doe

a friend of mine killed a doe at 205 in Minnesota. That doe dwarfed any other doe I have ever laid eyes on. I'd say 150-160 is a beast of a doe though.

Biggest I ever took personally in Indiana dressed out at 151lb. My cuz took one that dressed out a little over 160lbs. I had one doe waddle under my tree stand that I believe would have been over 200lbs.

Our group killed one last weekend that went 186# dressed, biggest doe I've ever seen in my life. When she came out, I was certain it was a buck that had busted of his rack, or just didn't grow or something other than just a doe.

I shot one that weighed about 300 lbs by the time I got her to the truck. Are we talking hanging weight or dragging weight,, LOL. she was in the 150 lb range I would say. biggest one have yet to get.

My uncle killed 180 pound doe b4

My brother shot one that dressed at 160 lbs that was quite large. I saw one once that I thought would go 200 but we'll never know since I didn't shoot it.

I bought some land this year and got this one on cam. How big do you think she is?

Greg that doe is FAT! I bet she has some sort of gland condition or something.
