How much meat will you get?
After the field dressing, skinning, deboning and trimming, the freezer gets a lot less than the animal weighed on the hoof. Enter the species and a weight and we'll estimate the boneless, table-ready meat - and roughly how many meals that adds up to.
That's roughly 160 servings of around 6 oz each.
Where it goes: on a typical deer, expect very roughly a third as steaks and roasts (backstrap, loins, hams) and the rest as ground and stew meat from the shoulders, neck and trim. A clean shot and careful trimming save you pounds.
⚠️ This is an estimate. Real yield swings with the animal's age and condition, how much was lost to the shot, and how aggressively you trim. Mature, well-fed animals and careful butchering land at the high end; shot-up shoulders and heavy trimming at the low end.
