[QUOTE="KDM, post: 274733, member: 314"] A good rule of thumb is just under 50% of the carcass weight (gutted) will be boneless meat for a white tail. If you use a band saw for your ribs you will obviously get more of a return weight, but bone is a bit hard to chew. I've gotten just under 80 lbs of meat from a BIG minnetucky buck once in my life. That is the exception. Most 2.5 to 3.5 yo bucks will yield 50-60 lbs of meat if you take everything you can. Mature does will be around 40 lbs, give or take a bit. These numbers are from deer that were NOT shot through the front shoulders, but in the ribs. If you blast through both shoulders, you're out a good 1/3 rd of your possible meat recovery. This is just my experience processing multiple deer per year for 30 years. [/QUOTE]
