I've seen one in the past that was 285 lbs. field dressed with a 36.5 inch neck (not mine). That thing was a beast and if that had a live weight of around 350 I truly couldn't imagine 500 lbs!!!

Thanks BLB, My buddy is a good camera guy.

I shot this guy on a different piece of property than the one two years ago. But the habitat management and passing on small bucks is working great on my piece of property.

jnorm, I do remember meeting you at Sandstone. How is the wildlife biologist thing going?

Incredible animal camdu. 240lbs is a lot of whitetail. I see you're from Duluth - was he taken within city limits?

Where are these 300lb'ers? I know if I killed one that big, I'd have a picture or two laying around...

Great buck camdu7! That would be awesome to see a deer like that walking throw the woods. After seeing that i'd love to see what a 300lb looks like i cant even imagine! I want to see some pics harvey lee that would be sweet.

Any deer dressed over 200 is a pig and definately uncommon, Those approaching 250 are just amazing.

It appears there are some genes for heavy deer where I'm hunting in recent trends. Three years ago I took one that was 204. Last year I was unable to recover what would have been my biggest ever, I did get to see the rack after the neighbor found it, and he stated it was the biggest boddied deer he's seen. Then i passed up a questionable shot at an 8 ptr my dad later shot with a gun that went 214. This year my buck was 223, and the 25 yrs of hunting this area before this has produced only 2 bucks over 200 lbs.

In all my years deer hunting I have only seen 2 honest to goodnest 200+ lb deer.

I am blown away by all the 200 lb'ers out there.

My buck this year was a very stout deer with a Hugh neck and body and I would say he went 160.

Congrats to everyone on there 200 lb'ers.
