| The 86 pound yield from the
above 158 pound deer is about normal for what you would expect form a
healthy whitetail deer. Generally, the yield is about half of the
live-weight of deer, elk, moose, caribou, antelope, etc. However,
poor shot placement and less than conscientious field care, starting the
moment an animal is down, reduces the yield further, as much as an
additional 50 percent in some cases.
There's a number of other factors that cut into the yield. Where was the deer hung? How long did it hang before it was processed? What was the temperature? Did the temperature fluctuate, etc. I can't stress enough when the moment comes to pull the trigger, wait for the right shot. Take your time and don't make a mistake that you'll regret. There's always another day afield and another deer to chase. Searching hopelessly for a mortally wounded animal doesn't build pleasant memories. If you're gifted with a conscience, you'll live with your careless mistake the rest of your life. I'm strictly a meat hunter, and I honestly prefer venison over beef. I savor every moment afield and when I see a buck sneaking through the woods, I'm not thinking about a trophy rack to hang over the fire place mantel. I'm envisioning hickory-grilled rounds, honey-baked chops and inch-thick burgers. I choose my animal and my shot carefully so my highly-prized game meat is the best it can be. Back to top of page |
