Having shot only does (relatively small ones at that) I haven't ever experienced a big score of meat. Coupled with butchering and processing the meat at home from my first 3 deer I ended up with just a few meals per deer that I shared with my 2 roommates.
I shot a doe last weekend that is the biggest deer I've shot to date and i butchered it myself (skinned, quartered, deboned). I kept the back straps but I took the rest to a wild game processor to be ground into burger. It came out to be 34 pounds of meat without the straps. How much meat do you come away with from each deer? I forgot to get a look at her teeth to try and guess an age or weigh her before processing but I'm in pretty good shape and I had a very hard time dragging her back to the truck.
