RE: State Record???
Here this is what I found:
From this site: http://www.state.me.us/ifw/wildlife/species/deer/index.htm
Maine is home to one of the largest of the 30 recognized subspecies of white-tailed deer. After attaining maturity at age five, our bucks can reach record live weights of nearly 400 lbs. Most adult bucks, however will normally range from 200 to 300 lbs live weight, and will stand 36 to 40" at the shoulder. Does are considerably smaller; they normally weigh 120 to 175 lbs live weight. Newborn fawns begin life at 4 to 10 lbs, but grow to approximately 85 lbs live weight in their first 6 months of life.
I know it doesn't say what the record is, but I tried my best...[>:]

RE: State Record???
How would anyone know? Does anyone keep track of something like that? I killed a pretty big doe and I estimated her weight to be 125 to 150 lbs on the hoof but I didn't officially weigh her. I guess if I killed a 300 lb doe I might weigh it but other than that [&:]

UR telling me that every deer that's killed is officially weighed in MA? That sounds like an incredible amount of wasted time. In MO we don't even have to go to a check station anymore, we can check it in by phone or by internet. Either the state of MA has a lot of money to burn thru and/or a lot of hunters to tick off or there aren't a lot of deer killed.[&:]
