Deer Weight Records Highlight Record Oklahoma Season
Oklahoma deer herds enjoyed a record growing season says Cy Curtis of the Wildlife Conservation Department. He notes the average weight of white tailed deer taken by hunters in November at 107.57 pounds versus 300.76 pounds in 1900, with Cimarron county mule deer averaging 136.4 pounds compared to 128.7 last year. The weight trends reflect the strong growing season despite a poorer mast crop, Curtis adds.
