RE: Whats the average weight of bucks in your area?
Most of mine probably field dressed at about 120-140lbs (I've only shot 1.5 yr olds, although I no longer do, but haven't taken a more mature buck yet). My first deer ever that I shot when I was 12 was a big and weighed in at about 155lbs field dressed (1.5 yr old lol). At our cabin where we weigh all of our deer which gives me more of an idea of average weight, I would say ~115-125lbs field dressed, mostly 2.5yr olds, however this is partially due to habitat and genetics. Our cabin is very rural with little agriculture (we own 1200 acres), and heavy laurel, very little browse, etc. It's a tough life for mountain deer in this area as opposed to down in the valleys where I do most of my hunting.
