How much meat from a deer?
Let’s say a hunter kills a mature buck, and it weighs 165 pounds field-dressed. Using the above equation, we estimate its carcass will weigh 124 pounds, and it will ideally yield 83.08 pounds of boneless meat. The deer’s realistic meat yield is about 58.15 pounds.
How much is deer meat worth?
Minus the intestines, hide, lower legs and head it probably resulted in at least 70 pounds of edible venison. Now multiply 70 by the grocery store’s price for a pound of simple beef stew cubes or hamburger meat at $3 per pound. I now have $210 worth of clean, nourishing red meat that is low on cholesterol and fat.
How do you properly field dress a deer?
It’s easiest to remove the skin within the first two hours after harvesting, while thedeer is still warm. You can start while the deer is draining. To remove the skin, make a cut down the inside of each leg to the middle of the carcass. Cut the skin all the way around the neck, as close to the head as possible.
