    That’s a ridiculous way to weigh a deer. There is plenty of parts you don’t eat and a hamburger is more that a piece of meat.

      Mmmmm, venison burgers! I’m considering a new grill and that would put me over…… I wonder how many venison burgers my chest freezer holds

        We have an 18cu ft upright freezer, it currently contains probably about 60lbs ground venison, plus roasts and cuts from two deer, but also something like 1/8hog, 1/4cow, bunch of fish and say 1/2dozen prepped dinners. You could fit like 5or6 processed deer I bet in the average chest freezer which would be a great many burgers, say 3 or 400.

        I found on a quick search that 0.5lb ground beef is 14.44cu in. So if we’re calling all red meat the same density, and a loose packing factor of 0.75 it looks like about 1615 1/2lb venison burgers in my freezer which is quite a bit more than 400.

        18cuft 1728=31104cuin, 31104/14.44=2154burgers, 21540.75=1615 burgers (1/2lb)
