BIG Does - Really?
«

OK I am a little challenged and cannot get pics onto this site as easy as I can on other sites but I want your help. I am looking for true 150+lbs does AFTER field dress. Many claim to shoot 150lbs does but almost no one actually measures them. No certified scale needed as this is just for fun but Please just make sure you scale then and share photos. These can be from this year or past years but lets see, and show some respect, for the BIG girls. It is my oppinion that a true 150er is more rare than a P&Y buck and my "Not so scientific" research has proven this over the years. My best to date is a 147 and over the past 3-5 years I have posed this thread on other sites getting a result of about 1% true 150ers.
If someone can help email me and I will send a pick of one of my best girls for you to post. Lets have some fun and show some DOES!

Thanks - Bob Urban

Here's one I got a pic of last year. Never shot her so never weighed her. If she is under 150# dressed then you tell me what you think she would be.

Didn't put this old doe on the scales, but she was heavy for a doe.

My cousin shot an old doe several years ago that weighed 186# on the butcher's certified scales. My heaviest buck weighed 184# on the same scales and was shot in the same creek bottoms.

This was one of my bigger does, she was not 150 pounds, but she was 140 dressed. In comparison, I am 6'2" and weigh 230:

The biggest doe I ever shot was my first, she dressed out at 165(in Vermont they all go on certified scales). Haven't shot a doe over 130 since.

The biggest whitetail of all that I found came out of Minnesota. A hunter there had a 402-pound field dressed whitetail taken in 1926. And, believe it or not, another hunter matched that 402-pounder in 1981. Of course, these were bucks.

The biggest bodied deer Ive ever seen was a doe.I didnt shoot her because I saw her in Moose River Plains in the Adirondacks during gun season but I have to believe she was all of 200.Again, I never scaled her but she was with other mature ladies and they looked like fawns.

Those big doe's are tough as heck to take also. I certainly call the old doe's a trophy.

Those old matriarch does are much more seasoned than the oldest of bucks (no pun intended). There not swayed buy the rut like the boys are.

Those are all some PIGS - I love seeing the Big gals. Take a look at PICKINs FDoe to get some perspective on How BIG a 150+ doe has to be. His looks HUGE and it went 140lbs.
Keep em Coming guys and never underestimate the Trophy Value of a P&Y DOE!!
