Is that number field dressed or on the hoof? I get ~45-50% of field dressed weight. To get this kind of yield you must leave some bone in and keep the ribs. I am closer to the 30% also. I always thought I yielded more but then I bought a good scale and was surprised at the lower number. It also takes me from skinning to cleaning up everything a good 4 hours which is why I am also always surprised when guys tell me they can do one in an hour. No bone, I keep the rib meat and I am very picky about using as much of the animal as I can. The trimmings from the roasts get added to the stuff to be ground.

I don’t know why they would not take in a skinned deer. Maybe because they were charging to skin and then selling the hide? I have always skinned before taking to be processed. My locker won't take a skinned deer nor even a capped buck. State mandate they cannot process livestock while deer processing either. So they close for 2 months and do deer only. Well that makes sense. Kinda like a meat department at the grocery store. They can't use the same meat slicer for pork and then use it for beef.
