Weight Guesses?
 

Enough with antler scores, how about some weight guesses?

A.


B.


C.


D.

235 field dressed.

Wow. Those are hogssss.

Which one? :) There are 4. I think A is the biggest by far.

what are you feeding these guys? They most be on the same diet I was before I came back from college?

The first one lives in a vast area of overgrown clear cuts. I'm assuming he eats browse, blueberries and blackberries. In the areas that aren't cut, the mast is beech and cherry. We have an orchard and a couple fields in turnips and clover, but that guy doesn't ever show up in these places. He's a hermit.

The other 3 have been seen many times in our orchard, turnip and clover field. I assume they also eat a lot of browse in the spring and summer as they have clear cuts around them as well. They also have access to blueberries, blackberries, cherries and beech nuts. Also, in the winter, we put out alfalfa bales for the local deer.

Other than that, they are mountain deer. No agriculture.

I'm sure age helps.

Over 200 pounds field dressed for sure ..... That's a small horse ....

BarnesX .... Hope you get a shot at him ..... Good Luck and Safe Hunting .....

You notice that only one pic is in the daytime? :D

was looking at the second picture when i made my guess

Funny you picked that one. It was the only one that was weighed. And you are pretty close. It was around 300lbs live. Give or take a few.

A and C are both ridiculously big. Would love to crack something like that.

A is still alive and by my buddy's tree stand. A 75 yard clearing in a sea of clear cut. That pic is from last year and he's still alive. I am hunting there tomorrow morning. :)

C: I missed last year. My neighbor shot it a week later. He didn't weigh it. They skin, butcher and eat. They don't care about score or weight. We watched that deer for 4 years and I would love to know the score. When it's back from the taxi, I will measure it. The rack looks small in that pic. I have some better views.
