    A huge doe for these parts is 130-135 dressed. I've gotten 2 that weighed in at that range, and maybe one more that would have been that big. I have heard people getting 150 lbs does, but I cannot confirm.

    Average in the northern part of Virginia is about 70-75 lbs. Dressed. I would say 90-100 lbs. would be a big doe. Unless you go by the deer that live untouched in the Manassas battlefield. There are some monsters in there.

    100-120lbs field dressed in Arkansas is huge. Typically mine dress out 80-90lbs.

    The biggest I have weighed was 139# here in ky. I've killed several since that were as big or bigger but not weighed.

    Know a guy that killed one in the 160's

    But the average is much smaller, I would guess in the 100# to 110# range.

    My dad shot a doe with his rifle about 8-9 years ago in northern Wisconsin that dressed 158 lbs. It was unbelievably big. Don't see them like that much anymore

    Here's a big girl.

    I would have liked to have gotten her on the scales
