How Much Deer Meat Can You Get

Further breaking it down, it will ideally yield 83.08 pounds of boneless meat. The deer’s realistic meat yield is about 58.15 pounds. Because waste can vary between deer to deer, we suggest using the “realistic” figure as a gauge. In the above example, the buck’s realistic meat yield would range from 58 to 68 pounds.

How much is a whole deer worth in meat?

At our local farmers market, basic pastured ground meat generally gets somewhere around $10 per pound. The better quality steaks fetch $15 per pound or higher. So a smaller deer would be worth $525 in meat (relative to your local farmer’s market meat prices). A bigger deer could be worth $1000!

How many meals can you get from a deer?

So basically take the amount of boneless meat and multiple by two. Not sure exactly what you mean, but in general, ignoring losses such as bullet damage, about 40% of the live weight will be boneless meat. So if you call 1/4 lb of meat a meal, a 100 lb deer should produce about 160 individual meals.
