I assume "deer stories" without a scale are similar to "fish stories" without a scale!
However, my brother took a monster doe a few years back. There were about 30 bucks at the deer processor by the time he delivered it. His was the 3rd largest deer in the room. His meat cuts from the butcher came back at 119#, which I think converts pretty close to 250# on the hoof.
The one I saw a few years later looked similar in size and build. I wish I could figure out which of my does have the genetics to become monster does. I would assume monster does are more likely to birth future monster bucks.
If you can figure out how to tag and release deer to monitor the herd, like we do on fish, please let me know. That would make me a much better game manager!
