Weight of fawn

The weight will vary some depending on when the fawn hit the ground (early May to July) and the buck fawns are generally larger than their sisters. A long time ago a I bet a hunting buddy that he would not get 25 pounds of boned out meat from the fawn he shot. He proved me wrong.:rolleyes: He had 26 pounds of boned out meat in a roasting pan total, but had to scrape every bone including between the ribs. Not much quantity, but the quality is excellent.

You really can have a huge variation in weight between fawns. There is such a long fawning season due to when the does are impregnated during the previous rut, that some fawns get a huge head start on others. Also male fawns seem to be significant bigger as a general rule. I wouldn't even try to come up with an average figure.

Our group has taken a few over the years. As others said weights can vary a lot. Dressed weight 40-90 pounds. My nephew killed one opening day that went 86 pounds. That's bigger than FL mature deer lol. I weighed it on my scales so I'm sure of it give take a pound. I grilled some me up oh my was it ever good!!
