RE: True Dressed Weight of Deer ???
In extreme northern Wisconsin, up in the snow belt where we get significant snow and cold, Mother Nature has brought genetics into the mix to ensure survival. Much different that other parts of the state. I have no idea what a fawn would weigh or a doe for that matter, but mature bucks in the 3.5 year class will weigh in " around" 200# dressed. There are some old ones around as well. First hand, I have seen some brutes " on the scale" weigh in from the low 200' s to a whopping 266#er a few years ago taken by a son of an individual I know.
I too have seen many people banter around the magical 200# mark. To actually weigh 200# dressed it takes a long, well built animal to make it. I have also seen people brag up some really nice deer and " called" them a 200#er after they measure the chest with a tape measure, when they were short, but still well built animals, but no way were they 200#.
Good topic...
