I shot a doe a number of years ago that was at 180 pounds (not with a bow)  I shot her far away, closer to 200 yards and didn't really know how big she was until I started walking up on her.... I thought i shot one of the neighbors horses.  That doe was bigger than many of the bucks I shoot here in western Pa

Someone once told me there are more 200" bucks than confirmed 150# does killed in IL every year. I tend to agree.

A few weeks ago one of the guys at our achery club told me his buddy shot a 300# field dressed doe. I wanted to ask him if his buddy stalked it in a pasture and called it in by going "mooooooooo".

Bob, I have never shot a doe that big but probably within 10-15 pounds of #150. I too have a fascination with big does and the past week or so on my way to work I have been seeing an absolute monster of a doe. I am tempted to ask permission from the landowner to hunt just to get her.  

My second deer ever (1978) was a doe from southern Illinois weighed on the deer check station scales at 212# field dressed. They said she was between 6.5 and 7 years old. Funny thing was that was the best tasting deer meat I have ever had.

One of the few things corn is really good for....'cept for makin' homebrew.

Blackhawk - I sure would like to see a piture of that pig.  Keep digging into your archived photo albums folks - lets see some big girls from that past too...

I remembered reading this thread as I was looking at this pic I got from this past week....don't know if she's 150 #s but she sure it huge....guess the apples acorns and hay are keeping her well fed...

Deer weight seems to be just like how far the shot was. Keeps getting bigger the more times the story is told.

I killed one in S. Il. that was put on a scale and she was 172#. She was with a buck I shot also and he scored 164 gross. Big does are in Illinois,maybe one out of 50 if that many. These were gun kills at @ 75 yards. Now gettin them big girls close with a bow is a diffrent story. Out Door Dan

Marc how do you know that isn't a buck that's dropped his antlers already?

This girl was pretty close to 150.  Best shot I've ever made... She was stone dead in 4 seconds!  Unbelievable!

 

160# Western Wisconsin
I've shot and weighed dozens before her that were 115-125 lbs as mature does.

david...another shot her head is straight on and no signs of shed antlers.  can't see the body too well so I did't throw that on up on photobucket....

Some beasts there guys, nice.

I love shooting old mares. Their sharp noses and big mouths are responsible for saving the lives of many a deer.
The biggest doe I've shot was actually my first kill with a recurve.  One I'll never forget, burned into memory like it was yesterday.
I didn't put her on a scale, but later on I always wished I would have. If I could throw out a guess, she was probably close to 140lbs dressed!

Central PA used to produce 100-125# dressed does frequently when I was younger.  Best I've seen in Texas was guesstimated at about 130# dressed, I thought she was a mule deer, but she didn't present a shot.  Smart girl.
