I usually get around 30 percent but I don't mess with any damaged meat and am pretty fussy about what goes into the grinder. A pro butcher can always get more weight than an amateur like me. Hopefully I can put my butchering skills to work this weekend. Our ML season opens and my goal is a 100 pound plus doe.
