Questionable.....220 lbs I don't think so......
If you cant beleive the scale Im sorry. Yes it was weighed and the scale is very accurate. Look at the picture on the tractor, the scale is there ;) I took the game cart in to bring it out with and when I saw the big bodie on him I decided it would be a good one to keep the guts in. Like I said, 220 live, 175 gutted, 145 hanging meat. Oh and the nose to base of tail measurement was 68 inches wich is a big number for people that understand taxidermy measurements. Neck was 24 on the meat at the swell, 7 inch eye to nose. Oh and my buddy killed a 4 point 2 days latter that weighed 200 live, 160 gutted. Not near as long but was pretty stalky.
Did you actually weigh the deer or estimate. Nice deer regardless.I think I answered your question ;)
Thanks for the kudos guys. Yes he is pretty tough, wife had some tenderloin for breakfast yesterday and they were tough ...... not good if the tenderloins are tough :chuckle:

That is about what I would have estimated based on looks alone. I would have immediately walked up on that and said 200+ pound blacktail.
I have not posted on here that much but have been a member for quite awhile and have learned which posters know their *censored*. scale or no scale if this guy says it's a 200+ pound blacktail you can bank on it.

Thanks man ! I appreciate that. I did the same thing you said when I got up there to the wife. She had told me on the phone he was a mature buck but tiny rack. Ya.. when I got up to him I said to the wife "Thats a 200 pound deer right there " Then when we tried to drag him uphill and got nowhere I said " I think he is heavier than 200 :chuckle: We only had to go 120 yards to the cart but it was uphill but not steep. It was a grunt and pull type "drag". I would get in front, grab both horns and pull as the wife pushed on his ass. Im sure we looked like a couple monkeys you know whating a football , but we got it to the cart 2 feet at a time :chuckle:

Nice buck! What type/brand scale are you using? It's hard to tell by the photo but.. I have one that looks really similar to yours and I'm wondering how accurate it really is. Got mine at Cabela's and it has a diagram on the bottom that shows live weight vs. dressed weight vs. hanging meat and I've always wondered how accurate it is.. Thanks and Congrats to your wife

Hey KimberRich, Thats the same scale I have . In fact I just went out and hung from it just to double check and it is spot on with my bathroom scale so I would say it is pretty accurate ;)
That's awesome. Thanks for the info.

I know that with a bear its about 20% but have never seen the stats on a deer....
All of the charts I have seen for bear show 15-16%.

If the deer is strong or tough, grind it all. We take the best burger meat (all, on a old buck). Take 21 pounds of lean meat, mix with 4 pounds of pork jowl meat and grind together, mix well. I buy the breakfast season packet from Eggers in the Spokane area. I imagine butcher shops all over the state have a sausage mix, Smokey Ridge in Chewelah has there version which is good. They will have it bulk or in packages for 25 pounds of meat. Mix in very well and regrind. This is the best breakfast sausage patties you can imagine. My wife will make a George Forman size patty and cook. There will be almost zero fat drip out and wounderfull taste. Good for spaghetti also.
