Last week a neighbor shot a buck we have been watching for 6 years. This was an absolutely huge-bodied buck. By the time I got down there with a scale, the deer was already skinned out. The head, cape and legs were thrown out.

I measured the chest behind the shoulders and the girth was 48 inches. Now this was a measurement without any fat, skin or hair so I imagine the girth would have been well into the 50s.

I weighed the carcass, which had no legs and the head and neck were both gone. Cut off at the shoulders. That weighed 140lbs.

What do you think this guy weighed live?
