Ahhh I don't think so somehow I think your talking about the P-H 1200C in 26-06. The rifle used on this occasion is a BSA Majestic Featherweight in .270 Winchester..

Now as to Roe weights and nice big buck like this one goes probably about 60-70lbs on the hoof. I recently heard of one that was 58lbs dressed scale weight at the game dealers. That means no feet and the head off. Average I would say is more like 50lbs on the hoof with Does being lighter. My first Roe doe weighted 35lbs dressed out.

The are very fine table fare though.
