Here is a thread about this subject from a few days ago. My deer and meat were weighed accurately. The consensus was 25-30% recovery is about average. http://www.aldeer.com/forum/ubbthreads.p...652#Post1169652
Take your kids hunting instead of hunting your kids.
I'd rather be LOST in the woods than FOUND in the city.

I normally get 40%, that seems to be standard if ground.
U should have gotten around 30-35lb of ground out of a 120lb guts in deer. I'm assuming he dressed around 90lb.
Obviously if u mess a shoulder up it goes down.
If be pissed and be asking for reasons why.

Good chance they packed more than 1lb into the bags.
I wouldn't be upset. Get out there and kill another deer. This I process my own and have packed more than 1 lb into the 1 lb tube type packs. I normally get 20 to 24 lbs of ground (without back straps or any fat added) on a deer that size. That is using the 4 quarters and maybe some neck meat with no bullet damage. I've never seen a deer hit in the shoulder that did not have some damage that had to be trimmed away.

I thought about that later too. I figure the fat adds a pretty good bit.

8lbs per ham deboned and probably 3lbs per tenderloin.
Has anyone on here ever deboned a shoulder? 2lbs at the most comes of most deer.
I'm going to post a video of me cleaning a deer one day and it will show how easy it is to debone the meat off the hind quarter instead of sawing it off. I can clean a deer in 6 minutes. Deboned and in the cooler.
At times my ambition far exceeds my talent.

You are right, it is really easy to deboned the hindquarters once you know where to cut. I debone the hindquarters with the deer hanging and the bone will be clean as a whistle in no time. I haven't learned a quick way to deboned shoulders yet though. I normally cut them off and then saw off the bottom portion of the leg at the joint and deboned them in the kitchen. Takes forever to trim one out. Maybe someone can show me some tricks. I usually just give them to my outside dog to eat there's not much meat on them unless it's a big bodied deer
We will burn that bridge when we get there

I picked up the doe I killed a few weeks ago today. She was 110 live weight and we got 30 packs of hamburger 5-6 packs of cube and the tenderloins. If I got 15 packs back I'd be pissed.
Would walk over a naked woman to get to a gobblin turkey!
