I have only been hunting Tennessee for three seasons but this is the biggest bodied deer off my farm so far. I didnt weigh him but I know he was over 200 lbs.

Need to make a distinction as to whether we're talking "field dressed" or "live weight".

Also need to make a distinction if you truly weighed it or are you just guessing. I do not know a soul who can look at a buck and tell me with 100% certainty that he weighs 191lbs or 203lbs, yet I see/hear it every year "I didn't weigh him/her but I know for sure he/she weighed xxx lbs."
 
For me, largest doe field dressed would be 105 lbs or so (would have to look back at my kill data to be exact), and largest bodied buck that I have weighed with witnesses present is the one below. He field dressed 187 lbs on Nov. 22, 2008 (opening day of rifle). Estimated live weight based on conversions is 230lbs or so. The temperature was about 17 degrees when I shot him at 7AM. He was killed in Hardeman county (SW TN).

Him few days before I shot him.
 
The largest bodied buck I have ever seen in west TN field dressed 205 lbs and can be seen below. It was killed in 2008 as well, but in Fayette County (SW TN).

The largest doe I killed weighed 122 field dressed & largest buck was a 6 yr old beast that weighed 200(dressed) on the dot! I think your heavy agriculture areas where the deer can get to 5 & 6 years old is where you will find the heaviest deer. Mine were both from Montgomery County

Got to love those corn fed deer. Thats some hosses
 
The biggest Ive seen was weighed a little under 250. A buddy killed it. He was only a 7 point but had a cool droptine.

My heaviest wasn't very much. Maybe 150.
 
This is probably the smallest bodied buck I've ever shot, but it's the only one I've ever had weighed. It's a 3.5 year old 8 point that field dressed at 89 pounds. Oak Ridge T.S.

I killed a 9 pointer in Benton County Tn that took up the bed of the truck. I was so curious that I took him and had him weighed. He field dressed 225 lbs so that put him at 275 lbs on the hoof.
 
Killed an 8 pointer last year that dressed out at 185...this is the second 185# dressed buck I've taken. Largest doe...145 dressed.
 
I've never really had most of my big bucks weighed cause I usually butcher them up myself and don't have any scales. I have had a couple big ones weighed that I did take to the processer that weighed between 180 and 200 or so I don't remember exact weights. I think this is the biggest bodied buck I've seen but unfortunately never killed him. Didn't sport much of a rack but boy he's a beast.
