Average wieght of a mature whitetail in your area.

and

Feel free to list the heaviest whitetail you have taken.


Here in my area of NJ, there is mostly private farmland. Seems that, from speaking with other hunters, the average wieght of an adult whitetail is in the 230lbs for bucks, range. 150lbs for doe range Not calling you a liar, but I find this hard to believe. Top end maybe, but not average. I hunt in IL and there are some monsters killed in my area. Not many bucks top out over 200 field dressed. My heaviest was 240 FD.
And a 150 pound doe is a horse, can't see them averaging that weight. My heaviest doe was 147 FD



I see these guys in the mid-west smacking 300lbs bucks and 250lbs doe !!! Thats BEAST !! Not in the Mid-West I live in. Maybe CANADA, but still rare there.
