RE: Average size of bucks?
LOL I agree WV Hunter. It's funny listening to people estimating weight. You never hear about people misjudging by 30#'s the other way. 150lb. deer always turn into 180lb. deer but never into 120lb deer. If you can be off 30lbs, you can be off either way lol.
Also, one of my hunting buddys' buck has gained about 27 lbs. in the last 5 years since he killed it. I remember the day distinctly. We got done dressing it and he kept claiming it to be 185-190 lbs. I said well let's go find out. Nah I'll just call him 180lbs. ooooooooooooooook[:-] Now he's over 200. Heck he'll be a world record in another 10 years.
