Size is subjective to heard structure and geogrophy.....50lbs in ny is a young of the year... and a late fawn ... who knows where your hunting.I prefer one vealer a year ... cus they are tasty .I do however make darn sure its a doe.On my piece of property we have alot of 3+ year old does .I look for mature does who are long in the face and a neck that is as long as the body... ears as long as my hand or perhaps as long as an average ear of corn,if that helps.I also look for a lone doe sugesting she has weined early or barren.Usually the mature doe comes in estrus first, breed first,fawn first ,wein first.Congrats on a fine tasty deer.
