Deer Weight Calculator

Formula

The formula to estimate deer weight is:

$W = \frac{G^2 \times L}{300}$

Where:

$W$ is the estimated weight of the deer (pounds)
$G$ is the girth of the deer (inches)
$L$ is the length of the deer (inches)

What is Deer Weight Estimation?

Deer weight estimation is a method used by hunters and wildlife enthusiasts to determine the weight of a deer without the need for a scale. This is particularly useful in the field where weighing a large animal is impractical. The estimation is based on the relationship between the body measurements of the deer and its overall weight.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Girth (G) = 50 inches
Length (L) = 70 inches

Using the formula:

$W = \frac{50^2 \times 70}{300} = 583.33$

The Estimated Weight is 583.33 pounds.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Girth (G) = 45 inches
Length (L) = 65 inches

Using the formula:

$W = \frac{45^2 \times 65}{300} = 438.75$

The Estimated Weight is 438.75 pounds.
