So variable but as a rough guide, North Wales fallow:
Does 38kg/ 84lbs
Prickets 45kg / 100lbs
Palmated 60kg to 80kg- 132lbs to 176lbs
Really !!!!!!!! bloody hell i must have weighed ALL my 250+ Wild Fallow each year for the last 16 yrs WRONG
The last 3 prickets between 80-95 all in the last 10 days,
does were between 70 -110 last year
bucks 90-190,
on average
prickets 70-90
does 60 -75
bucks 100-160
also dependant on time of year as to which end of the scale they tip for the males
as female never varied that much

Shot these two in mid Suffolk last month.
The big fella was still in velvet, aged at 4-5 years and weighed 170lbs gralloched, head and legs off!
The prickett was about 86lbs if i remember right.
There's plenty of food around here and they are obviously doing quite well!
MS
PS, I suspect some people may not understand what 'larder weight' actually means!!!!!
Just because it is hanging in the larder with its head and legs on, doesn't mean they count towards the larder weight!!
No need to get offended that there are bigger fallow out there MS! I can't honestly imagine anyone weighing with head or legs on! All the weights quoted above are variable but not extraordinary. Although looking back at the other quoted weights MS yours are amongst the highest!! Are you sure you haven't left a few legs on?!!!!!!!
Would still be really interested to see stalkerboydy's weights?
av a look then mate if you cant see my post then what chance you got of reading your scale's right
