So what's a really big doe

[ants]

I shot a giant doe, years ago when I was in my early 20's. I never had it weighed but its girth was huge, it had a very long body and snout and its teeth were worn right down even with the gums. Guys I was with guessed that it was 150- 160 lbs, but I bet it was bigger than that.

I shot my biggest one last year and dropped it at the processor with instructions to please weigh it. It said 175lbs on the slip but I don't think they actually weighed it. I'd believe she went 130-140

..... was 160s and she was a BIG girl. She was leading a small herd. Bad part is she was obviously the matriarch doe and the deer back here completely changed their usual patterns after that. Took me a while to adjust after years of predictable movement.

Same situation for me this year! Ugh...! Shot her Oct 15th . She had few teeth left and no clue how big (#), but heavy for sure. Last I saw of that doe family's typical travel route or pattern for the rest of this year's deer season. Also obviously had some influence on my general lack of buck sightings in that area after the girls changed their habits &/or home range.

Shot this big girl last year opening morning.....we didn't build the meat pole tall enough to hang and get a scale on the deer. That project of making the pole higher is on the to do list for the near future. Assuming she was pushing 150....but all I can tell you is she dwarfs that buck that was doggin her.

holy crap a 170lb doe? I shot a 124lb doe this year dressed that was one of the biggest in generations of hunters (albeit most of my family doesn't shoot doe).

but that's an absolute donkey. My opinion is any doe over 120 is big. over 130 is very big. of course also dependent on the area and feed.

Maybe but I would say 90-105 on the buck. The doe for sure is big, my guess would be 140+. It's tough to judge doe because they can be deceiving the way they are shaped. 

 

And on the properties that I hunt a big doe goes 125 and up. My biggest was 135 taken in Greene County, I have taken many in the 110-125 range.

WoW those are some really big doe, anything over 120 on LI is a fairly large doe but over 150 is just huge! 

Thanks for sharing guys some amazingly large doe!  Crazy!
