Average size of deer varies considerably across the U.S. They are smaller
in body weight in the south. For example, in Texas, a typical buck might
weigh 150lbs. while a doe would weigh around 90lbs. (they tend to run
smaller in heavily-wooded areas). The deer of the prairies, high plains,
and some of the northern wooded areas will run around 150 - 180lbs. for a
doe, and 200 - 250lbs. for a buck. Of course, there are a few larger ones
out there. Also, keep in mind that these are mature whitetail deer. Mule
deer (common in the western U.S.) tend to run around a 100lbs. heavier.
