Congrats on your sucsessful opening weekend.Mine isnt going to well only seen 2 deer in the past 5 days to far for shotgun.

[Fletch]

Looks good, still room in there!!

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Sweet congrats man. I hope to fill a tag in the next week or so myself.

[Deerthug]

I have nearly 200lbs of meat between the two deer. I think I'm good even if i give away 50lbs.

How do you come up with that figure?? Were they huge deer?

[Deerthug]

The buck was 190 live weight and doe was just about 90 live weight. Thats 280lbs live weight less 30-40 lbs for the guts. I'm guestimating the total meat between 200-225lbs.

think the bone must weigh a fair amount too...

ya got me curious , this suggests that a mature buck with intestines, hide and head removed will weigh about 180#

then after waste products are removed you'd end up with about 40% of that weight in meat so about 72lb

• Carcass weight = Field-dressed weight divided by 1.331
  
• Ideal boneless venison weight = Carcass weight multiplied by .67
  
• Realistic venison yield = Ideal boneless weight multiplied by .70

[irish_redneck]

they say a yearlings guts will weigh about 35# , so your probabably above 50# combined?

if we go with the 40# , that would bring you to

250# field dressed

187# carcass weight

125# ideal boneless weight

88# actual meat

what the %^&$ with analyzing what he said. so what if he exagerated a little. man, I wish I was as perfect as you!!

Hell of a job Deerthug!!

[WNYBuckHunter]

Congrats deerthug!

Im doing pretty good filling mine this year too! 3 so far, goal is 2 more. I bought a 9.2 cu/ft chest freezer, plus my garage freezer, so plenty of room here!

[Elmo]

Congrats deerthug but there still seems to be some room in tat freezer for one more.

[Deerthug]

Thanks for the congrats. I'm happy with the meat yield I have. To me it looks like 200lbs. LOL!

@Elmo, waiting for muzzy season in three weeks. We'll see! Depends on how much meat my wife decides to give away to friends before then. )

[greensider]

i think you will be shocked if you acualy weigh it 2 deer 1 doe one 2 and a half year old buck i shot last year 104 pounds of boned meat and i pick them clean

[irish_redneck]

wasn't being a prick, don't think he was intentionally exagerrating, I think he... like me, did not know any of the numbers for what a deer will yield, now we know. As I said previously, the conversation piqued my curiosity.

Either way congrats on the deer DeerThug

[landtracdeerhunter]

Congrats again on getting venison in the freezer.

[13BVET]

That was me last year. No venison at all. Certainly made up for it this year.

I did real well this year too. I Gave away a 4pt. minus the rack and tender loins. It went to a family of 4 who really needed it. Me and the land owner skinned and quartered it out and dropped it off to them , we even stopped and picked up some freezer paper and tape for them. .....It was like we handed them $1000......Felt good. If you don't need it donate it .

i have been both sides there brother.i give to make up for what was given to me.Thats for sure.I I have a house full.6 kids and a wife.

[BaldguyLee]

I'm still trying for my first of season. A friend who always shares with me had his big doe stolen while hanging !! This guy's so kind he would have given the thief some meat anyway, just for the asking, AFTER processing. Thieves suck.

13BVET - My season so far has been an interruption after another. I still haven't even fired the muzzleloader I bought a month ago. Now I'm going to be labelled as those city folks who do all their prep the day before heading into the woods.
