What's wrong with this doe?

What I really need is a portable scale and a pile of apples…..

All of this with one little picture.

Two things you can rule out is CWD and EHD. Other than that, I've seen fat deer but nothing that size!

Well, it's not starving. Meat might be really tender. Somebody fill a tag and take some photos.

Or she's so old you need a really big slow cooker

Speck she is an older barren Doe, no fawns to pull her down this year.

I butchered a big doe in Northern Missouri last weekend that had more fat on her than I have ever seen on a deer in my life. Gobs of it. The small doe and the Buck were totally normal, but the bigger doe (closer to the cab of the buggy) was fat as hell.

The buck looked way bigger on the hoof. Ok 10pt, nice spread, but two broken tines and a smaller body than I thought. When I came up on him I was really disappointed. I thought he was a monster.
I was lookin’ for this guy:

Ought to see the ones in northern Minnesota (and some provinces in Canada).big does will field dress 170 and some more than that! Bergmann’s Rule (of evolution)!

I know I live just west of Saskatchewan where all the BIG bucks are taken .Just across the border ,most of your does look like our yearling does .

Yes, as expected! So why act so surprised then if you know better? Your statement is just proof of Bergmanns Rule.

I gained four and a half pounds waiting for my Kibler fowler. Perhaps...

I took a doe here in Mass a few years ago tht was 146 lbs dressed. That is a corker for around here. She ate just fine!

Alls I was trying to say my friend is the farther north you go the animals like deer elk and especially the moose if you’ve ever been to the Yukon or Alaska seem to get bigger .Im very sorry if I hurt your little feelings .

Too many Bon Bon’s and complaining.
