Default RE: Field Dressed Weights

I don't have a butcher's scale to weigh them with, but I do use one of those measuring tapes that have the weights/field-dressed weights/estimated processed meat weight printed on the tape. It seems fairly accurate, because the processed weights are always close.

Over the past 3 years, my bucks have had estimated field-dressed weights ranging from 120 - 174.A couple of those deer have been pretty large, so I'd say that 175 is a high-end number for Southwestern PA. I've heard tales of 200 pounders, but my measuring tape has never met one yet.

I've onlytaken onedoe/year, and a good-sized doe around here field dressesbetween 100 - 120.
