One field dressed 203lbs and the other 238lbs. You get real picky when you only get one, and you pay that $190.00 out of state tag fee. I live in Tenn. where the buck limit is 3, and we have no where near the avg body size Ky does. Both of my deer were aged by a Tenn. Wildlife Officer at 5 1/2 the other at what he guessed at 7 1/2 he told me when they get passed 5 it gets difficult to tell, that's a whole new forum. If you haven't never hunted there, you need to go. I hunt in the Western part of Ky.
