Calculating Whitetail Dressed Weight and Yield


Have you ever not had the time to weigh your harvested deer and subsequently wondered how much your deer weighed? Were you lucky on an evening hunt, but unlucky because you had to go to work the next morning? In too much of a hurry and you didn’t have time to weigh the big buck? Well, here’s a tool to help you! It’s a chart to help you calculate whitetail deer live weights.

This calculation is based upon the girth of the deer in inches or field dressed weight in pounds or amount of meat in pounds that you received back from the butcher shop. If you have one of the three, then you can calculate the live weight of your big, medium or small deer.

Now you should know the weight of that big buck you harvested late one evening. Happy hunting and happier calculating of your big deer weights. Enjoy!
