Too bad there's no way to record the body size as a statistic.
I'll never forget my Dad's biggest buck, killed in the early 70's. He was a 31" wide 4x4 that field dressed at 236 lbs. He thought he had to have the largest bodied deer, but when his buck was weighed at the Stockmen's cooler in Elko, NV that year,there was one buck hanging at 252, and another at 264, and a third at 284... Monsters!! I'll never forget seeing my first 200+ buck hanging,so front-heavy with that swollen neck, huge front shoulders, and impressive rack, along with that seemingly bleached-out roman nose...HUGE!
