RE: What is the official record weight of a buck/doe in North America?
Here in Maine more people measure the weight of their deer than they do the rack size. The local big buck clubs go by weight, and if you get the heaviest you can win over $1,000 depending on how many clubs you signed up for. One was shot last year that bottomed out the scale at 325 pounds dressed. Unfortunately he never took the deer to a F&W scale to find out just how big it really was. It possibly could have been a state record!
