"i have never seen a nice racked buck that weighed any less than 150 lbs. on the hoof. i dunno about you south jersey guys. this is either just another "record" rumor or the weight is wrong. i will believe it when i see it. "

KoBear, you may never see it, and I don't know where you hunt, but I can tell you here in South Jersey, in the 'Pine Barrens' as we call them, a mature (4-5 yr old) buck often weighs in right around 100 pounds dressed. Where my family hunts an really big doe goes 80 pounds or so. I have killed does that didn't make 70 pounds dressed that had fawns with them. Of course there are areas where they get bigger, but around here no one blinks when they here of an 8 or 10 pointer with a nice rack that weighs 100 or so pounds.
