RE: 200 lb doe is that possible?
Anyone that says they are common in their area needs to invest in a scale and take the time to use them. Possible? Yes. Common? Absolutely not anywhere.
Here ya go, guess this one:  |
RE: 200 lb doe is that possible?
Robin, In southwestern MN where i hunt that is maybe a yearling compared to the big does around here. I dont have a scale but just on body size I would guess most of the mature does in my area are pushing 150-180#'s. The one in your picture would still have milk on it's lips. I could see a 200# doe be shot around here pretty easily. All deer here are corn fed monsters. They have big bodies but the racks dont seem to follow. I would guess that deer weighs around 115-125#'s. If i could figure out how to post pic's i would show some examples. The real light winters lately seem to help also.

 ">Hopefully here is a pick of a doe and buck. This doe is a medium size doe but look at her compared to the buck. |

not the best pic but I would guessthe deer i postedat around 140-150# and she isnt by far the biggest doe taken in the area but only pic i had available from my work computer. Slug season this year. Trying to figure out this pic posting thing yet so sorry for the screw ups.

I shot a big old doe here in PA that dressed out at 167#. She was an old deer gray face busted up hooves and her teeth were worn done to about nothing. 167# dressed would put her around 200 live weight, So i know for a fact possible but definitely not common.

Agree 100% Schultzy. Keep guessing on my doe guys. There is nothing funky going on there with the pic. I am sitting right up against her and not pushing any of her towards the camera. 200 lbers are possible, but no way common anywhere. Neither are 150 lbers. Like Schultzy said, a 200 lb buck is exceptional, including all that extra neck muscle that no doe has. Let's not forget the original question is about a dressed wt of a doe.

I'm gonna guess 150# |
