70lbs of properly cooled antelope, mind you....70lbs of meat from a pronghorn buck...fantasyland, best case.
I take this to be bucks. My experience is does were closer to 20-25 with a lot of it going to burger depending on where you shoot it.Study done by Univ of Wyo...avg was 34.8# of (boneless) meat which also went further down on animals hit in shoulder or other areas of higher additional meat loss.
My guess is they move around more than you think, and definitely enough to not gain a lot of weight. It's not like they are in a feed lot. But, let us know for sure. I am curious.Yeah this one went off the rail a bit and did not need too. To get back to the subject, I want to find out how much if any is added to the yield of the antelope on the property I posted pics of in my other thread. There are a lot of variables that affect net yield of edible meat on antelope. Antelope are also one of the more lean critters walking today, normally. But where I am trying to get at, is how much does lack of regular physical exercise when they do not run affect them? How much is the weight gain? There has to be some but how much? I intend to find out in 2021 if I can connect to the landowner and get permission to use my bow there. I am sure there are biologists in here who can answer some of that. But most accurate way to find out is get one and weigh it out.
They are definitely bigger than the goats I chased in 2020. The pictures I took came out too fuzzy to show that, but especially the bucks are bigger.My guess is they move around more than you think, and definitely enough to not gain a lot of weight. It's not like they are in a feed lot. But, let us know for sure. I am curious.
Good lord dude, keep it on topic or go away. Please.Yup those fuzzy ones do look a bit bigger.....
