During this year’s hunting seasons there are expected to be more than 170,000 deer harvested across the state, according to the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).
Since most of these deer will be field dressed before being checked out and weighed, many hunters are curious as to how much their deer would have weighed whole.
The following chart can be used to estimate the whole (live) weight of whitetail deer from dressed weight:
