RE: How much meat do you get from a deer?
I though about this last season. I never put much though to it before, but I took a 175lb buck last season.
After field dressing it it weight in at about 150. I took it into the processor to get it fixed up, after I paid for the delux package I got 65lbs. of meat?
I know you need to take into fact that the hide and bones and head add to the extra weight, so lets say about 50lbs. So what happened to the other 35 or so lbs.
Some of there processors are making a killing if they are in fact getting and extra 35lbs.
KEEP HUNTING THE GREAT OUTDOORS & GOD ALIVE, PASS IT ON!
