I am gonna bet everyone did not have access to scales like we all do today so I expect a lot of the weights were guestimates Back then there were scale too . We used scales at cotton gins I got some did but just like today a bunch just say what they think one weighs Today I can't judge live weight only dressed weight . Lol

I killed a 215 lb 9 point in Collinwood, TN in 1986. Yes, I know it's not AL, but it was close to the line on some property I bought just to hunt on. There was a huge frost that morning and I killed him at first light backlit against the white frost. I drove a 4 wheeler to him and got him on the back rack by myself because the adrenalin was pumping as this was a giant! When I backed the 4 wheeler up to the tailgate to put him in the truck, there was frost all over the truck bedliner. I tried pulling him into the truck bed and he would slide back into the 4 wheeler because of the frost. Wound up pointing the truck down hill and finally got him to stay in the truck. I stopped at an Ag supply coming home and weighed him on certified scales at 215. Biggest deer I have ever laid eyes on. I would love to repeat that day again!

My biggest was a 220# 10pt that netted `125 out of the TNF,, circa Thanksgiving day 1992.

I don't know about any others but ALL the weights I have mentioned were from accurate scales, nodamnguessing.
I would guess I have killed a dozen bucks over 200# live weight over the last 30 years. All weighed on my scales. Biggest racked buck I have killed weighed 198 live, just missed 200 on my scales. I would of "guessed" it at 200 live, but the scales said different.

Jimmy Baileys state record buck was on a HUGE shoulder form. When we took it off the wall to score I saw that the skin was overlapped down one shoulder because the skin was too big for that huge form. Hard to find a form for a 300+ pound deer.

How bout some pics of these toads? The only bucks I have seen over 240 have been from Alberta or Saskatchewan. I have shot them in Michigan up to 240 and 190 in Alabama. A 240 plus buck is one hell of an animal. Seems that a 200+ buck in Alabama is akin to a "musta scored at least 150" haha. 204 Field dressed , should be over 250 on the hoof. Killed 2 years ago, I have a pic of the scales . The pics are after field dressing , thick little feller. That's the heaviest I've killed , but have a pile that field dressed over 160Lbs.

Ok yall got me started . Lol
Back then the forms for shoulder mounts was shitty . If they had mounts then like now some of yall would shucks if you saw the neck on those big bucks back then in full rut Back then it was a paper form or either a 4x4 post with paper mache shoved in it. What we have now does the anatomy more justice. Most of the old stuff wound up with a more stretched out neck.

Troy ,,,, how many old guys you know back then that threw the antlers away with the guts and hide ha, several times I've seen it done. I saw a 17ish pointer killed near Camden in the early 70's, 285 pounds, and THE RACK MADE THE DEER LOOK SMALL. don't know the score but it was prolly over 200 non typical. Absolutely huge. The guy didn't mount it, just cut the horns off. I bout cried. Jimmy Bailey gave away a 140" ten point in the early 80's to some guy he barely knew. All he wanted was the meat. Him and the crew he hunted with would cruise backroads at daylight looking for fresh tracks. When found they would turn out ONE dog and spend the day leapfrogging in front of the dog till someone killed the deer.

Both of the deer I posted where weighed at Central Alabama Processing on Jamie’s digital scales. I do not personally know if they were 100% accurate or not. All I can say for certain is both of those deer where better than average on body size and they were full grown. The scales could have been off but I’ve put my hands on my fair share of 200# deer and felt like the weights were accurate. These were not guesstimate weights!
