Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 News flash... Hunter kills 400 lb deer in UP of Michigan. Just before dieing, deer was heard to say "moooo." Both the University of Michigan and Michigan St have sent representatives to the location to recruit aforementioned deer for O-line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illinois59 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Good lord, that's a big deer! I think the largest ever recorded was an Ohio buck that went over 500 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig mack Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 They just had a story about the heaviest bucks ever recorded and I thought it was a buck from Ontario. I heard about the U.P. deer but that deer was killed a long time ago. I will see if I can find the article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 From what I have read, the largest deer on record was killed in Minnesota and estimated live weight was 512 lbs. Borealis, the big boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saskbuck40 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) In my opinion over 400 would be impossible. In extreme cases i'd say 380 max. Thats probably as big as they get. Here's a pic of my 07 buck, he was 370 field dressed. i could see a buck pushing 400 but hardly ever if at all.

jbeck Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 370 feild dressed would put him at 420 lb. http://www.storybookbucks.com/412deer/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tp793 Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Is it live weight or dressed weight we are talking about? Im guessing live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kid Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 Both the University of Michigan and Michigan St have sent representatives to the location to recruit aforementioned deer for O-line. rich rodriguez doesn't need a 400 lb lineman he runs the spread,, :) ,, a lineman of that caliber should go to some team that will actually use him,, maybe the badgers lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeyenut Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Sask- Just curious, how did you get that beast into the truck? And why didn't you field dress it first? Seems like it would have made the task a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
