Happy snow day!
We want to address an issue that comes up once every season. We get it, so we got you.
How much meat should you expect from your harvested deer?
The short answer is ABOUT 1/3 of hanging weight. We've accumulated enough data over the last few years to make that determination.
You'll always get all the regular cuts of steaks- UNLESS there's damage, in which case, we'll tell you.
In addition to damage, other variables might include shot placement, number of shots, extra fat that had been trimmed (especially if you ask for a lot of stew meat), rot (because you kept it longer than you told us), improper field dressing, whatever.
We have two seasoned skinners, two seasoned cutters, and a dedicated and efficient crew.
We make every effort to make sure you get as much of your deer meat back as we can. That is the standard operating procedure, and that's it.
There are only so many miracles that professionals can perform, but we do our best. :)
That being said, mistakes happen. If you feel there's been one, call us.
