142# field dressed if I remember correctly. At Camp Ripley, MN. Second largest doe killed that year on the base. First place was only a few pounds heavier.

I got one that I think went 140-150 all-up.
Big for CT, but nothing special by MN standards. One year one of the guys got one that dressed around #160, if I recall... Think she might’ve been the winner at the local check station.

Big whitetail doe I shot in Michigan. Did not have a way to weigh her.

Shot a huge old doe during shotgun season back in the late 70s that weighed 157lbs dressed. Biggest doe I’ve ever seen before or since, by far.

Dont have a weight, but shot one in Ohio as part of a metro park management hunt that my wife and I could barely drag out of the field. Looked like a small horse. When I told the biologist, he said they cull some in there that take 3 guys to throw them into the back of a pickup. Corn fed.

I was with my nephew when he was young. I am guessing around 10 years old. It was in OK when you still had to check one. I think his doe weighed 105 lbs. There was a lady behind us also checking one. Hers weighted 103 lbs. He turned to me right in front of her and "mine is bigger than hers and she a grown up" He thought that was a big deal. Cracked me up.

186#s on a certified scale by NYS DEC, they aged her by tooth wear and said she was at least 10.5 and could be older. I shot the 8pt that was chasing her also and he dress 153#s. Bow-only area where deer gets some age on them for sure. Shawn

We have weighed at least 50 does and the biggest was 148. Next was 138. Handful in the 130s but 120s is still big. This is in Illinois.

Two really stood out to me, but I never weighed either. Last year's doe was big, and I shot a big one about a dozen years ago. I think both were over 130 pounds for sure.

The deer, especially whitetail does, tend to run small on the Bitterroot river here in western Montana. However, this doe really stood out that I shot a couple years ago. My butcher commented that it was the biggest he'd seen come off the river, although no certified weight.

On a related note, my Dad ran into a herd of big-bodied estrous does in a transition area around the local tavern after he killed his Montana Moose.

I don’t know how much she weighed but I’m guessing around 115-120 dressed. She was a load to pull out of the creek bottom.

Looks to me, only the one on the far right was actually in estrous, Roughcountry. Note the classic stance? Unusual for the doe to lip curl, though ;-)

I’m a biologist and weigh a lot of does every year in IL - biggest I have weighed was right at 140 dressed. Usually a 125 pounder will take the shotgun weekend. Biggest buck I’ve weighed was 230 - this is during the 1st shotgun season every year so the bucks are run down a bit.

We have some around I call Megladoes. They're just as elusive as the mature bucks. This is from a few years ago, I don't have a recent one on my phone, but I honestly think a couple are over 200# live weight.

I didn't get this big girl but my dad did. We saw her for many years ( she was easy to identify) and never once did she have a fawn. I think that may have contributed to her incredible size. Back then we never weighed deer much and hardly ever took pics of does but she was so large we had to grab one ( or took the time for quality pics- sorry about the yard pic) but I know she went into the meat shed next to a really nice 3.5 year old 8 point and she dwarfed it. I dunno if the picture captures her true size....but she was immense.
