Meat hunters

What do you figure? 40lbs? at most 50lbs? First buck I've seen stroll through this year at work.

I think you may have 40 or so lbs hanging....maybe 20 or 25 of consumable meat and even that may be a stretch.

   Not a whole heck of a lot, but better than nothing.

Tough to say, I think he weighs more than a feed bag though - I'd guess close to 60 lbs.  I think you'd be lucky to get over 20 lbs of meat.

I might have shot that buck when I was 11-12 years old but not anymore thanks.

i would pass on that.... unless it was the last day of the season and didn't want tag soup

Thats a skillet deer

He looks tender, and there's more meat there than a pheasant or turkey.

60 pounds is about the smallest a blacktail deer will be at one year according to a study done in CA.

Yeah, sure... guess they've never weighed an island deer.  As H2O said, maybe 25 pounds of meat.  Not a shooter for me as an adult doe here would provide more meat.

There is also quality. I shot a small spike on the last day a few years ago. Best venison I have ever eaten. My guess, 30-35 lbs total.
