I removed some offensive posts

189# And 206#. Most are 160-180lbs run down from rutting.

217lbs dressed, my biggest although I did kill one other at 205lbs.

Took this New Hampshire buck 2 years ago, field dressed at 174lbs. I’ll never see anything that fat in Sullivan County

And remember wolc123 girth measurement. How could we ever forget that? LOL.

This one went 247#. Large body that had trouble fitting in a 72" loader bucket.

I once saw something similar at an old feed store. You would hang a feed sack of known weight on one side by the hook and load an empty sack with the same feed on the other side until it balanced. That way each sack would hold the same amount of feed after being loaded.

A couple of years back I bagged a doe that went 200 live weight. I weighed it prior to field dressing it, but not afterwards.

Biggest NY deer I ever saw was my cousin’s 10 point. It was 192# dressed. He shot it in Prattsburg

184 pounds for me. Below is info off the net that gives a way of calculating live weights. Probably not 100% but will be fairly close. Field Dressed Weight Calculation You can use the field dressed weight (with lungs and all viscera removed), the hanging weight (field dressed deer without head, feet and hide), or the edible meat weight (total of boned meat) to calculate the live weight. The most accurate will be the field dressed weight. The hanging weight will vary depending on exactly where the head and legs are removed, and the edible meat weight can also vary greatly depending on how much meat is spoiled and exactly how it is boned and processed. (Weigh the meat before processing into sausage, jerky, etc.) Field dressed: Multiply field dressed weight by 1.26 to determine live weight. Hanging weight: Multiply hanging weight by 1.33 to determine live weight. Edible meat weight: Multiply edible meat weight by 1.35 to determine live weight. For instance: Your deer field dressed is 150 pounds. Multiply 150 by 1.26 and the estimated live weight is 189 pounds. Under the best conditions, and if there is a minimum of waste, you can expect to get about 1/2 of the live weight in edible meat.

Famous hunter and Outdoor Life author Jack O'Connor gazes at some of his impressive collection of wild rams in his man cave office in Lewiston, Idaho circa 1950. O'Connor sold his first article to Sports Afield in 1934 for $12.50. Later that year he sold another article to Outdoor Life Magazine, where he would become a staple for many years to come.

It looks useful for balancing weight on those Beavers we fly into the back country lol. I can think of a ton of applications, but I'm sure there's probably something specific.

We weigh every deer we get. A very nice example in our area is 150-160lbs, and not very common. Average doe is 105. My heaviest buck was 168, and doe was 146.

This state is only interested in the money that is generated by hunting,nothing more.That being said it will be another left wing zealot that is only put there for the governor's butt kissing.

My prediction it will be another idiot who has the same agenda.
