With the winch it's much easier to weigh...I weighed my buck this year because I've never had such a difficult time moving one. We weigh all the cut up meat though, the boned out neck roast on him was just under 12 1/2 #'s...but to look at one of the pics I took you wouldn't think he was that big...

 

But do ppl always mean hanging weight when they say I shot this or that?...Because I have shot 150 # does and they hung right around the low 120's...Whats the saying muscle weighs more than fat?...I suppose a very large looking deer could be very deceptive once skinned out, as far as how much actual meat you'd really get off of them.

It's very deceiving for sure. I look at myself, 5-10" and weigh 205. And yes, about 20 pounds of craft beer fat too much. But comparing  myself size wise to a big deer you'd think the deer would weigh 250 all day long as per square inches they cover a lot more surface area.  And I swear the longer I drag them, the heavier they get

Weight for me is always post field dressing, everything else in tact

So I just picked up one of my deer from processor. He's been doing it for 30 years. I asked him what good sized doe weighs : 100 pounds field dressed Largest he's seen 143. 2nd largest : 127.
