Here in Missouri, (north west) I'd say the avg. was around 150 lbs. We commonly have deer taken each year in the 240 lb. range field dressed. My best friend shot a 160" class green scored 8 pointer just this past rifle season that went 241 lbs. on a certified scale. I would imagine that it all depends on the area you are asking about.
Agricultural(?) states like Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, ect. tend to have bigger bodied deer than states like Texas and so on.

In Va. deer vary drastically in size, in the mountains your average buck may only dress out at 90-100 pounds, where as if you get down in the tidewater area the average buck dresses at about 140-150, my cousin killed one that dressed at 210! I killed a little 4 point yesterday that I would guess dressed at about 85-90, very small for where I hunt in Va.

In NW NJ where we hunt the avg dressed weight of bucks has been between 105-120 for the last several yrs now. In fact, it seems to be headed down towards 95-100 for some reason in my ZOne.
I hunted ILL and the deer all avg over 150 and we shot 2 bucks that dressed at 190 and 210.

I would say that the bucks that I've seen taken in my area avg between 110-120#'s. There is a very popular deer area not far from me (Llano) where they run smaller. South Texas is famous for big deer, and East Texas has those big Piney Woods deer. Depends on where you hunt.

At least. Canadian deer are big, eh?
The doe I got this year (had to) weighed about 180 dressed.
