I figure some of you guys should know how a deer should dress out weight wise. A few weeks ago I took a deer that was a little over a hundred lbs. I decided to get it ground up at the butchers. When I picked my meat up I had 28 lbs of ground meat . . . .6 of that was beef trimmings that had been added for fat. I know I should'nt have had much more than that, but come on 22 lbs of meat from a 100 lb deer.
Yesterday I took another doe for the freezer and I weighed the carcass after it was skinned, gutted, head and legs removed, and it weighed 65lbs. From now on I will have the butcher put my carcass weight on my order when I take my meat to him.
