First offf, congrats Jeff!! Seocondly, this buck is a huge deer. I mean down here in below the mason-dixon line average deer grow to be about 125-140 lbs...and some of them carry massive racks... Jeff said this deer weighs roughly 160 lbs, I think it's at least that and maybe a bit heavier.. yes there are heavier deer in certain areas of the south, but it's usually in areas where the food is plentiful and the ration is great, but on the eastern sea board, outside of the eastern shore in Va/Md, 140 lbs bucks are normal, but anything more is considered big.. Im not all that familliar with Jeff's area, but that buck is probably bigger than average... now in mts of Va/Nc, deer can get over 200 lbs, but rarely over 215 lbs.. so not only did Jeff connect on a nice racked buck, he connected on a heavy boddied deer for this region of the country.. I posted this b/c the moment I saw the deer I noticed how heavy he was.. look at that neck too, I think he had some rut left in him!! Good job Jeff!
