Just curious do you hunt south texas? I have hunted down there with customer a couple of times. I have seen the racks on the deer there but how much does an average Buck or doe weigh. They look like small bodied deer compared to the huge rack on their heads. I hunted in Mason Texas about5 years ago and was not lucky enough to take a deer. I did see a nice 8pt that I could not get around on fast enough with my bow.
I've been hunting on a lease in Mason County, Texas, not far from Doss since 2004. As I understand it, our Hill Country deer aren't quite as big as the South Texas deer. The buck I shot last year weighed 158 on the hoof. He was a 5 1/2 year old 9 point. If you are on a South Texas ranch that has a supplemental feeding program and good management, I believe the deer reach the 200-250 lb. range.
