Default RE: Average amount of meat after processing?

(Skeeter) That's the difference....

Also your 130 include the hide, head and so on...drop that weight off and you'll find a dressed deer (which is ready to be processed-hide, head, guts, legs gone)
Looks like we were just talking about different levels of "dressed".
Folks around my area consider a deer field dressed as soon as it's been gutted.
My hunting buddies and I only take it that far and then it's off to the butcher.

I'd love to do the whole nine yards from kill to plate, but I don't think the wife will go for it. I'm lucky to get to display my mounts in the main part of the house. Maybe I can cape one out sometime when it's not too cold.
