Disclaimer: unfortunately this is not my kill 😭 but I sure wish it were. Most people I know just grind it all up. WOW really? I cannot Imagine grinding up an entire deer and losing all of the excellent roasts and steaks you get from the backstraps, and hindquarters! Personally, I only grind the front shoulders and have my 3rd generation "Sausage Maker" make my Jalapeño Cheddar Cheese Smokies and Hot Italian Sausages. The tenderloins are BBQ'ed the day I get home. KB

Very nice, but that's an awful lot of meat for what appears to be a small deer. I'm going by the rack and head size, but I could be wrong.....just ask my wife. 150# so should yield 60# give or take. Also a pile if bones laying in back to right of burger. Burger looks to have fat added as well so some bulk there. Never understood why people add fat to their burger. Not telling how old that fat is if they use a processor and pork fat goes rancid quick, fast and in a hurry. Have you ever shot a rank Mule deer? If yes, then you would understand adding fat.

No I haven't, shot a few rank whitetail bucks. Only fat added is for summer sausage and that isn't added until we grind for sausage. I try to hang em as long as possible to let the stink blow out of em. This year's buck hung for 9 days.

I was just going to say the same thing Looks like two deers worth of meat. At least ^^^ Agree ^^^ Just as an aside, when a commercial processor is used, the meat you get back (especially the ground meat), may or may not be all from your deer, or a mix or yours and someone else's, or all someone else's deer.

Backstrap, tenderloin, hams (round steak) and rump gets steaked. No bone in anything.
Neck, shanks, shoulders, and trim meat off the steaks gets ground, without fat.

Pork fat is the worst, goes rancid fast! I only use Fresh Beef Fat I get from a local butcher in my sausages, tastes way better, does not go rancid like pig does and therefor does not change the flavor like pig does! KB

Sort it out by cuts and that is a deer's worth, with the possible exception of the ground - fat added perhaps. Bigger than 150, or camera distortion? I'm used to whacking bigger things than runty little deer so I could be mistaken. From the left- burger from fronts, ribs, misc., and stew ( I'd have more stew - crock pot makes tougher pieces tender, and I love stew) Steaks and roasts from the rump bones and neck/shoulder meat backstrap tenderloins misc. steak- probably from front shoulders _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Shooting male animals deep in rut and/or through the shoulders...... well you get what you ask for. An observation from experience , not a criticism. I don't do that anymore - at least the rut part. And not the front shoulders unless need be or an oopsie. I prefer at the back edge of the shoulder or a head/neck shot if I can get it. But then I'm not hunting next to property lines and seldom right at dusk. Milages vary. I never add fat to wild meat I process. If needed, olive oil or, preferably, butter when cooking (fug chloresteral- I have way more good than bad anyway. . ). If taking it in for sausage, etc. I specify the least amount of fat added they will let me get away with - usually 10-15 % -apparently it aids in the grinding, or stuffing, or something, and they insist. Or maybe it's just for their bottom line. Where else can one sell a waste product for profit?

None of that 1-and-done stuff.

40-45% typical yield.
Of course can vary from shot placement or what shot with.
Add 20% to the ground like a lot will do and that adds bulk.
Don't forget that 10# pile of bones on that table.
Looks like neck roasts tethered up in there.
Inner loins add a bit to that pic. I can see backstraps cut up and the steaks cut from roasts. Probably sliced that handful of meat from ribs.
I don't get nearly this much but I am extra picky.
Rare I save a neck but did this year, probably 8# of stew meat from that, shoulders to jaw.

Man- I'm going to have to think hard about a Kodiak deer hunt next year! Never been, and I'm age pushing it. I have friends in the business, with a tender for camp. Sport hunting I R!
FYI - a good bull moose will have about that amount of meat just on his neck. I bone out the rib meat and make folded bbq rib "roasts" out of it. Caribou ribs get boned and ground - too little meat thickness.

I got some beef fat from Bo’ and Bob’s Deli and Transmission Repair.
One of the chunks of fat said ADIDAS stamped into it Floor sweepings. No thanks
Straight grind- never again add fat. 🤮

I grind 90%. Pork mix for me, all in sausage casings. Most smoked. I don't get that much meat as shown. Animals enjoy the trimmings.
