..ive hunted deer in illinois since the late 70's..and i imagine we have alot of 200lbers+ taken every season but thats not our average at all...and the 200 mark is batted around alot...had a hunter at the cass co checkin station for gun trying to convince me his doe weighed 170#..
what part of CASS co, i have hunter there since 1988
i agree 300# field dressed is gigantic, i have killed a buck that dressed out over 240# but they are few and far between
