Whitetail Deer: An Enduring Commodity

A 120-130lb animal (20% of the live weight is comprised of mostly stomach, intestines, and a bit of blood) will field dress down to about +/- 100lbs . If you’re prepared to harvest the internal organs (heart, lungs, liver, kidney) then you’re talking 45lbs of meat and 55lbs of hide, bone, brain, and other tissue: What can be consumed breaks down as follows: 45lbs of pure, lean, red meat: 6-8lbs of organ meat; +/- 20lbs of steak; and 18-20lbs of ground meat.
