Can you fit a whole processes deer in a regular above fridge American freezer? If the deer was about 160lbs

I get offered deer my friends shoot pretty often but didn't think I could fit it in my freezer or find a place to butcher it

Ask your friend to teach you how to butcher. That way, you get help doing it, it's done correctly, and if there's more than you can freeze, they can take it home with them.

depends on the size. 160lbs of strait meat? likely not. if your refering a 160lb carcass before butcher and then taking the weight of meat after that......possible

If the deer was 160 pounds (gutted, skin on), then you'll have no prob fitting it in a freezer, assuming the freezer isn't packed. You'll prob only get around 60 pounds of meat, depending on how you cut it.

After its put into portions for the freezer it should fit. I could fit 50 lb easy.

I always figure 55% live weight, so ask yourself if you can fit roughly 90lbs of meat.

55% live weight seems a bit high in my experience when you're talking about medium sized game like deer and feral pigs. I get closer to 40% - 45% live weight, especially on the smaller deer around here that only get to 110-120 lbs or so on the hoof.

If you bone it out completely, yes. If you've got bone in quarters and whole racks of ribs, no.

are you fucking dumb

no you don't butcher it in the forest

>shoot it
>free its spirit from its physical form
>bless nature
>gut it (this often happens in the forest. leave the bowels as a consolation prize for the wolves)
>take it home
>skin it
>remove rest of organs
>refrigerate those
>let the body hang for a week or so in your garage where it's nice and cool
this lets rigor come and go y'see, tenderizin the meat and such
>then you can start dicing up the flesh

we usually cut steaks, tenderloin, ribs ourselves, and then send the tougher and fattier cuts to the butcher to be made into sausage
