RE: What is the official record weight of a buck/doe in North America?
Well, the record for dressed weight is 402 pounds. It' s hard to say what the live weight would have been since it can only be an estimate, but the estimated live weight was over 500 pounds.

I have seen a published weight of over 500lbs live weight but I would have to do some searching to find the exact number.

Here in Maine more people measure the weight of their deer than they do the rack size. The local big buck clubs go by weight, and if you get the heaviest you can win over $1,000 depending on how many clubs you signed up for. One was shot last year that bottomed out the scale at 325 pounds dressed. Unfortunately he never took the deer to a F&W scale to find out just how big it really was. It possibly could have been a state record!

I' m not sure what show I saw it on, but I believe the record weight is 518 lbs. That had to be a site to see. You see pictures of 300+ deer that have huge neck rolls. Imagine a 500+ Deer. That' d be AWESOME!!!!!!!
