For meat, I prefer does. Fortunately for where I hunt in Al., the limit on does is beyond liberal .... 2 a day, every day .... or 1 doe + 1 buck (up to 3 bucks/season). Last year I took 13 does of which my family and I used 5. We gave the rest of friends. I probably could have legally killed 50 does.
As for average size .... I'd say does are in the 90# - 110# range, with a 130# +/- being a big doe. We did have a guy kill a doe in 2003 that weighed 147#. That is our "club record". As for bucks, average weight buck would be 165# or so. We do not "manage" for trophy bucks, so most that make it to 3-4-5 years of age, and have a 8 pt. rack or better are shot at. Heaviest buck I have seen come off where I hunt was a 223#, 13 pt. every year we will kill 4-5 or so that are 185# plus. But that's about it.
