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...[>:]

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 [&:]

we know b/c when we tag our game,they have toweigh her,and in MAa200lbsdoe is a giant...but you wouldent under standbeing fromKS where 200lbs does come offften.....

RE: State Record???
 

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.[&:]

I thought it was funny.

yeah, mass is the worst state for hunters, its all about makeing ithard for hunters to get lisens that some guys quit b/c its to much work, and in mass your lucky if you have maby 2 deer a month, come with in 40 yards of you while in stand....its awfull

You DO not have to weigh your Mass deer in at the checking stations at places like Bob's Sportsman shops but alot of them have scales anyway.

At state run check in stations manned by biologist and wardens they like to weigh them for record keeping but don't always.

Checked in a buck a couple of weeks ago at the local shop and he didn'tweigh it. He just crimped a permanent tag to the tendon on the back leg...

You will find NO record book for does in MA unless they keep records for the ones the division weighs in.

Deer have to be weighed in Oklahoma, but I don't think they keep a record book for weights. Some are weighed with guts in and some with guts out. It would be too much of a hassle to keep exact weights.
