Well as for weight all mine are weighed on a state certified scale in central Wi where I live. The doe in this picture weighed 240lbs official state certified scale, the doe weighed 160 on the same scale. The buck scored 115, scored by taxidermist. The doe scored 0....hehe.

EGO, thats it. Lets not forget guys posting the weight of a deer. Either they don't weigh it and guess really bad or they have never even weighed an actual animal to even come close to a legit guess.

I've read guys posting of 180 lb does. Like it happens all of the time. Not saying it can't happen, but it surely is not the norm. I often laugh when I read of an animals weight. Its usually rounded to the next 000("the deer weighed 170 lbs.) Why not 167 lbs? Why not 177 lbs? Because it was never weighed, thats why.
