That's a big old boy with that roman nose. Its so hard to truly judge an animals weight when rutted up like that. Ends up being a guesstimate. He certainly looks like he's been eating well.
I have no idea on total live weight but that neck is probably 25 to 30 lbs by itself. If I had to take a guess I would say that is a 350 lb deer on the hoof.
Pretty impossible to tell from a pic. Ive only actually weighted game bags and i could count on one hand how many times I've even done that. Pretty standard and pretty accurate ratio is meat yield is 1/3 of live weight. So if you weigh boned out meat you can get a pretty good idea. Whats the circumference on that freakin neck?!!!
