Typical yield from a doe?

Definitely. I only take them in if its real warm, like the two I got 10/6. I got a great yield though because theyve only got a few deer in and take their time. I got 58lbs from a buck that was under 120. Bring a deer the first week of gun when they have a mountain of them and youll get substantially less

Makes sense... I got a good yield off my deer (same day)

The front loader full of hooves is always a crowd pleaser!

Oh and my processor, doesn’t charge me full price if I should happen to bring in a dink . It’s kinda like how a restaurant will give celebrities the best table and comp their food ....

I think its because he only need three bags and didnt need to sharpen his knives afterwards

I tend to see about 38-40% good meat yield. So 38-40 pounds for a healthy 100 pound deer with no shot damage. Sometimes you lose some meat when you think the shot is perfect. Sometimes bullets fragment. Also I've had bow shot ones bleed into a quarter when the bow shot was not directly in the quarter. Most likely due to what blood vessels it hit and how it was laying before recovery or hung up? Also the weapon, bullet type can make a big difference. No need to be using a 300 win mag with explosive tips to kill a 150 pound animal!!

 

I have a good butcher and if I lose some meat they make notes on the paperwork and let me know exactly why.

I get 70 from a 2 year old buck 50 from a good doe and a yearling buck

Feel like this always comes up. Around 36% of dressed weight is what I get in well trimmed/processed meat. I've been cutting up my own since I started over 20 years ago and others' deer too. I get a few per year. Bucks 3.5+ yrs old can be a little more and little less for doe very old or very young (including button bucks). Also as said shot damage effects yield too.

Might be a wash from a shop. if they rush and leave some it'll offset less trimming they do.
