Jay,

I wouldn't let any of that worry you. Anytime someone on here posts a picture of anything big, "usually" one or two negative comments surface. It's just the nature of the beast. You know what you harvested, and 95% of all folks here will respect it and be happy for you. Don't let a minority bother you. Stick around, there is tons of good information on here, and yes we all have our opinions based on our personal experiences and there is definately more than 1 right way to do things. Good luck and I hope you stick around here, lots of quality folks and infromation to be shared.

I hunt mostly in Northern Idaho where I live. But I do have a friend I hunted with in Alberta Canada in 2002. Talk about doe size!!!!! I saw does up there that were definately over 200lbs on the hoof. I have weighed all my bucks here over the past 5 or 6 years. I have a good idea of what a deer weighs on the hoof. I only get 2 deer tags here so I dont harvest does, but I have seen a few at 180lbs on the hoof here.
