"A deer that weighs 60 pounds field dressed would have had a live weight of about 80 pounds. Other conversions from field-dressed weight to live weight are:

                 Weight
            Field  /  Live 

                60/80
                70/90
                80/100
                90/115
               100/130
               110/140
               120/155
               130/170
               140/180
               150/190 
               160/205 

"Multiply the field-dressed weight by 0.65 to calculate how much meat you will get from a deer. With this formula, you can estimate that a 120 pound field-dressed carcass will yield 78 pounds of meat."
