Haven't weighed a whole one but know that I can lift a 160 pound person off their feet and have had a hard time lifting a few on the rope to hang them, but I could.

Depends on where the deer r. We've killed a few over 200lbs the largest was 275lbs before fielddressing it. Two of them were big 2 pts. One 2 pt we weighed after field dressing it at 175 lbs, add the guts and it is over 200. There r some big ones.Funny, I've killed 50+ deer, WT's, MD, and BT's and the biggest bodied deer was a 2 pt blacktail. I got him around the 5500' level. I didn't get to weigh him but he had to be pushing 300 lbs. Big ol' nasty buck. Toughest deer I ever ate.

They vary in size just like whitetails. Just because your deer are small it doesn't mean they all are. The three biggest blacktails I've weighed were between 215 and 230lbs gutted.:yike: you have gotten some big ones! :o The last three spike elk i have shot have been 215-228 hanging weight.

That's like asking what is the average weight of a human. Deer like all cervids very from genetic make up to how much beer they drink. :chuckle: really though they can very a lot.worldwide average human weight is 136.7 pounds....

Couple years ago my son shot a buck and we hauled 95 pounds of boned out meat off that hill. left rib meat and bloodshot meat there. prolly 10 pounds worth. It was an easy 200 plus pounds on the hoof. have seen a dozen or so bucks as big or maybe a little bigger body wise. They can get very big. I shoot all my bucks west of I-5.

This topic does remind me of growing up in Michigan. The whitetail are way bigger there than any of the ones I've seen in Wa. but they also have to pack on more weight for the winter. I remember cutting 2 to 3 inches of fat off some and over here they don't even have any fat.

damn sounds kinda like bears all of them are 400 lbs,200 lbs is a huge blackie :chuckle:
400 lbs is a huge bear. 200? Most mature bears in this state are 180 +/- a few pounds. Doesn't take a huge frame for a fall bear to go 250. Especially over on the Penninsula, every bear I used to see over there was a fatty.

Hope your buddy doesn't get ticks on him from that deer. My bear and whitetail were full of them this year.
That buck was full of them. Almost covered his brisket, big fat blood filled ones.
That's a giant bow hunter

My dad has shot 2 that were 200lbs, about 20years ago. Some of these big high country ones mentioned could be muley/blackies? Anyone over 200 is a bigggggg one! But yes they can get 200+. I would average a mature blackie around 180, 70ilbs meat.?
This sounds about exactly right. For a MATURE blacktail buck. I'm in Wyoming staying at a buddies house who is a taxidermist and have yet to see a muley buck come in that's 300lbs. The lowlands open Thursday though so the big Cornfed bucks will be showing up soon, still doubt I will see a true 300lb buck.

There's a good chance I won't weigh another big blacktail. Anymore I leave the bones up on the hill with the guts.
Post by: billythekidrock on October 31, 2012, 05:20:54 AM
We didn't weigh this one, but it was much bigger then them body wise.
