Where are you hunting at Jason? Where our camp is in lower Arkansas the majority of our deer weigh under 150 pounds.

Haynesville, my lease has good body size.  Was hunting in Russel Sage last Saturday and talked to the biologist at the check station and he said the average weight for 2 1/2 year olds was 150 lbs.  My buddy has a lease in Arkansas southeast of El Dorado and I killed 150 lb doe out there last year and there was one bigger than that with it, just shot the first one that came out...Louisiana deer have pretty good weight on them.

Man, I wish our deer got that big, but we have way to much hunting pressure around us. Our does even old ones usually don't go past 120 lbs and our bucks rarely go past 150 lbs.

Sounds like habitat is the concern and the pressure is a contributing factor.

I think the pressure is what kills us we have a ton of oak trees and we plant food plots so the deer will have something to eat after all the acorns are gone. We have plenty of food sources, but everyone around us is the "brown and down" kind of hunters.
