Thanks, Glad you enjoy the pics, I love to watch them progress through the summer, it is interesting to see there range this time of the year I have pics of the big 9 pointer, behind the house as well as on another farm about a mile away, I have three years of pics of this deer. First time we have gotten pics of him behind the house They have another 3 weeks of growing, so I agree going to be interesting where they wind up.

Today, the 9 and the wide one in the 250lbs range if not larger . I have seen these deer on the hoof big bodied deer. Last year we harvested a deer that a buddy and I had a difficult time getting into the truck, plus 300lbs

Our does are rather large as well with many in the 180-200lbs and some larger. I shot a doe 2 years ago that went 240lbs.

Curious as to what you think the 9 would tape out at.

I'll contest to all that. I'm from Iowa and we have some massive bodied deer up there. A cousin of mine killed one last year that field dressed over 300 pounds. The gross score of the rack came out over 180. Lotta big deer back home. They definitely eat well in the bread basket of America :D
