Disclaimer
The results here are estimates, not measurements.
- Actual meat yield varies with age, sex, fat, shot damage, field care, trimming and how you or a processor count it. Your result can be outside our range.
- This site is not food-safety advice and not processing advice. It does not tell you how to field dress, cool, age, test, handle, cook or store game. Follow your state or provincial wildlife agency and public health authorities, including any rules on disease testing such as chronic wasting disease.
- Do not use these numbers to accuse or settle a dispute with a processor. Weigh your own deer and ask what they are quoting.
- Bag limits, tagging, transport and weight rules are set by law where you hunt. This site does not cover them.
- The site is provided as is, without warranty. You use it at your own risk.
