After dragging her half a mile out of the prairie to the truck, our guess was close to 200 pounds. However, after dragging anything that far things tend to feel heavier than they are. What do you all think she weighed?

she looks like a mature doe - so I'd guess between 110-120 lbs.

however, the rule of thumb seems to be: for each 1/4 mile from the truck, add 50 pounds

Very mature doe but a 200lb antelope. No way.

130 lbs. Plenty of some of the best steaks and roasts you could ever hope for: If it was taken care of right...lol

Never seen any goat go 200! I would say 100-110 lbs!

That's a nice big mature doe!

I've never heard of one going 200 though. Did you weigh her?

We didn't have a scale, we had to process it in my friend's apartment.
Westarted saying she was 200#because the body size on her was bigger than the mule deer we got the year before. The mulies were a bit "longer" in body length than her, but she was way more wide.

We just calculated the amount of elbow grease it took to get her back to the truckinto the actual weight.

(Actual animal weight) + (amount of effort to getit out) = (final story)[8D]

I've packed a few elk over the years that probably hit the ground at around 450 lbs, but were clearly closer to 800 by the time the last quarter was to the truck.

She looks like she has a big body, but her horns aren't super mature. Is the person in the picture kind of a little guy? Maybe it's just the kneeling position of theperson that makes her look so large.
