Alot of people think that alot more meat comes off of a deer than actually does...

Also most fail to account for the amount of meat lost due to the wound... if you shoot a deer in the shoulder and the slug passes through andhits theopposite shoulder.. then you won't get much if any usable meat off of those shoulders.. soo all you have left is the backstraps, hind quarters, and inside tenders. Not to mention if you shot the deer several times.. maybe striking the hind quarters ect... blood shot meat is not edible.
