Heaviest Deer You've Shot?
« on: November 12, 2009, 06:26:39 AM »
Heaviest deer i've shot (hanging weight) 140 lbs. My dad had a 190lb buck back in 89'. I've heard of some freakishly large bucks like 240, to 275lbs of meat.
Ruger brought back the .220, i just shoot it.

My biggest was my first It weighed 175 at the butcher. They thought it was a muley by the size and couldn't believe it when I said it was a whity.

I'm assuming when your talking 240-275lbs of meat, your actually meaning the deers dressed bone in hanging weight.  Correct?
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

The heaviest Mule deer I have shot weighed in at 175lbs. That was with no front legs from the knees down and gutted.

I edited out the blood and guts.  :puke:

Killed a 240 lb Whity in Missouri a couple years ago (hanging weight after gutting).  Got 108 lbs of boned meat off of him.  Don't know exact weight on muleys but we've killed some monsters out in Montana.  I'd say 275 hanging easy.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

In '02, got a muley in Montana. Ate a little of the meat and came home with 98 lbs of cut up meat.

About the same year a friend shot one near Cle Elum. Same thing, we ate some in camp, cut it all up while we were there and came back with 98 lbs of cut up meat.

In '05, my son got a white tail and we got right at 100 lbs of meat. His BT this year gave us about 85 lbs of meat. I didn't weight it on that one but I'm fairly good at guessing it.
