My brother said when he dropped the buck off at the meat cutter that it weighed 165lbs sans head, hide and lower legs. Guy said it was the heaviest buck he had come in this year.
Congrats to your brother, Lowedog. Not sure how I missed this one.
The 4 quarters and the torso of my buck(rib cage, backstraps, neck, tenderloins, bones) weighted 132# and I thought my buck was enormous. 165 is effin huge!
