As much as a person!? A big deer can get to 300 lbs. And in some parts of the country Elk and Moose are a large concern. I'll never forget seeing my 16 year old friends truck after he hit an elk.

- spockz 5y agoWhat was 16 years old? Your friend, the truck, or both? Over here it most likely is a total loss for the car.
- onionisafruit 5y agoAccording to English’s ordering of adjectives[1], the friend is sixteen years old. If the truck were 16 years old the phrase would have been “my friend’s 16 year old truck”. [1] https://www.grammarly.com/blog/adjective-order/ https://www.grammarly.com/blog/adjective-order/
- robocat 5y agoI presumed the friendship was 16 years old. English is the worst language, just like all the other languages.

- wpietri 5y agoYes, as much as a person. Mean white-tailed deer weight in table 3 here is circa 50 kilos for females and circa 60 kilos for males: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260674293_The_Kinzua_Quality_Deer_Cooperative_Can_adaptive_management_and_local_stakeholder_engagement_sustain_reduced_impact_of_ungulate_browsers_in_forest_systems https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260674293_The_Kinzu... For humans males, 300 pounds is in the 97th percentile for weight: https://dqydj.com/weight-percentile-calculator-men-women/ https://dqydj.com/weight-percentile-calculator-men-women/

You're not wrong, but since it's not really made explicit in the paper, I'll mention that since they are measuring these weights at the check-in stations, these are almost certainly the "field dressed weights". After killing a deer, the hunter usually removes the internal organs from the chest cavity before moving the deer. The actual live weight of the deer is will be about 1/3 higher. A 55 kg (120 lb) deer at the check in station will thus actually weigh closer to 70 kg (150 lb) when live: https://www.pgc.pa.gov/Wildlife/WildlifeSpecies/White-tailedDeer/Pages/DeerWeightChart.aspx https://www.pgc.pa.gov/Wildlife/WildlifeSpecies/White-tailed....
- wpietri 5y agoThanks for the correction. I assumed this was full body weight because of the inclusion of fauns. I never was a deer hunter but grew up around them and I had no idea some people shoot fauns! Maybe it wasn't legal where I was at the time? Or maybe it just wasn't done? But now that I look further I see otherwise.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoI think you mean fawns, not fauns.
- nawgz 5y agoA big person can get up to 300 pounds easily too, this isn’t 1970 pal this is an obesity epidemic
