I am the exact opposite. Literally every single doe I have seen this year had fawns. Im not exaggerating at all. Had a doe come out Wednesday afternoon that still had twins in tow.

150 is the average mature buck in SC it seems. I have killed 3 bucks this year, which is a lot for me since I usually only kill 1 or 2 a year. Shot a 8, 9, and a 10 and their weights in order were 160, 152, and 149. Those weights are NOT dressed. I dont process my own deer so I just get the weight when I drop them off with guts intact. Also my average for Does seems to be ~90.
