I believe he would go 180's,....just awesome!

Thank you all for the compliment!

How much do your deer typically weigh?

The one I got last year, which has similar body mass to this one, field dressed around 175 lbs.. Estimated, so I could be off some, but I'm a fairly big guy ( 6'2'' 275lbs.) and it took me a good bit to hoist him in the back of the Jeep..

Def a good idea robbin' the cradle.. haha.. Also, this game is awesome, I'm sucking it up as well, but it's very informative..

i think he'll easily push mid 130's,...he's a very nice buck. we dont often weigh our bucks but last year we weighed my wifes buck,..he was 265 on the hoof. and was an old mature buck,..

Glad your enjoying the game,..

Yea we were guessing over 200 Lbs. on the hoof, but I'm always one to estimate low to be on the safe side of things.. I hunt within 1/4 mile of corn, alfalfa, and soy bean fields so they have the nutrition.. Not to mention the clover plots I got on my property, so we try and grow them big up here.. But with the mentality of "if it's brown, it's down" around here we can't be as selective as we'd like.. I'd love to let him have one more year.. He's 4 1/2 at oldest from the trail cam pics we have, but if I let that walk around here, someone else would take him in a heartbeat in rifle season..
