Default RE: Average amount of meat after processing?

I've always found it to be around 40% or so meat vs. dressed weight, although this can hardly be called accurate since I never weighed the meat itself, just the dressed deer. Also, a lot depends on shot placement. On an average 200 pound buck, I'd say it's not uncommon to have around 100 pounds of meat if there wasn't much damage.
