    Around 200-220 lbs (90-100 kgs) live weight seems to be the average for mature bucks in Nova Scotia according to a friend's grandfather who has been hunting in the River John area for many years, very near to where that first buck was shot.

    He's another one from the area that they dropped on a soybean field in '11 that was a good size right around the average.

    I recognise that big one hanging around in the background. It is a John Deere. Ha ha ha ha

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
