You didn't by any chance have this deer processed at Smith's Meat Packing in Marion did you?

 

I happened to see a similar doe laying on the pile tonight with the biggest head I've ever seen on a deer and it looked just like yours.

 

Thanks for sharing,

Unless that's a weird camera angle there is no way that was only 125 pounds. Are you sure that scale is accurate?

I Processed the deer myself, and i just bought that scale at dicks, no ideal how accurate it is. I thought she was bigger too, had to tie her to my Subaru to get her up in the tree.

I didnt think I was crazy. My first reaction was no way!. A hunting partner a few yrs back shot one like that on a drive. I swear its eyes were as big as baseballs and it dressed at 185#.

We had 4 deer I think on that drive and that doe had dwarfed a couple avg  6pt bucks that were down also!

I have shot a lot of mature does including one that dressed at 197#. Old Greyface we called her. Passed her up during archery a few times but took her with my revolver. They all had a giant heads like yours. I couldn't see the body in your pic but I would check that scale for accuracy.

I would try hanging myself from the scale and compare it to a bathroom scale.  I was thinking that deer was well into the 160s dressed.
