A ny chart ...

This one is from the Avon bowhunters....

I’d say that’s pretty acurate as fas as bones out meat goes. A 100lb dressed doe gets me roughly 40lbs of boneless fattless meat when I butcher.

I agree.  40% of dressed weight seems to be what I get.  This is true if I butcher myself, or take to the processor I use back home.

212 live dropping down to 165 dressed seems excessive.  I doubt the guts weigh over 30 pounds in a 200 pound deer.  If so my last deer weighed 160 dressed and must have been over 200.  I estimated only 180.

Gman - are you stirring the pot with another weight ESTIMATE chart.   I am buying everyone a scale for Christmas.  You are all on your own to figure out the water weight dilemma.

very close my friend shot a deer last year and I down loaded the penn deer weight chart  and measured it and it said 43'' = to 178 dressed and we weighed it and it was 173 lbs. gutted. It didn't have a hanging weight though

[tommyc50]

yeah sorry it was 182lbs but within 10 lbs its close enough

That buck was 35 1/4” and dressed 111, and
That’s late after presumably chasing does for weeks. This chart says 99. I’m not buying it

yeah but moog  what about if your on a trip to say alberta  or maine and don't have access to a scale plus atleast you can judge what meat you can expect back from the processor[ HA! good lucky!!!!] with this one but I cut that deer up and had made stew /grind from the trimmings and it was closer to 50-60 lbs [ trimmed of bloodshot meat and fat]
