...deer is ready but I asked how many boxes, he said 1 (16x14x11). It's been a long time since I've taken a deer to the processor but dropping off quarters, straps and neck from a 212lbs deer, which was about 70lbs in the cooler....seemed a little light. This is what I asked for: (2) dz tamales (2) lbs of beef sticks (4) lbs of chili meat Remaining in burger PickKing the meat up tomorrow but am I just be overzealous on what I should have expected?

So 6 lbs of requested meat plus the 2 dz tamales (maybe a pound or two at most there), I would expect the hamburger to be mixed with something to give a little more fat, so I would think about 25-30 lb of meat.
My guess is the cooler weight was slightly over-estimated, and the processor wasn;t overly careful with the processing job on the quarters and neck, leaving a lot on the bone for ease and quickness. MIx a little pork or fat in with the meat and that'll leave about 25-30 lbs of burger. I may be way off.
What processor did you use?

Cinnamon Creek.....I may get there and be totally pleased and surprised but I guess I just "assumed" everything would not fit in a single box.

They will fit about 35-40 lbs easily in a box there.
How long ago did you drop off?
Wondering if I should call about mine I left about 2-3 weeks ago...

It should be more than that. Boxed meat I usually get 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 boxes that size depending on how much sausage/burger meat I want. Since they mix pork in with the sausage a lot of sausage will cause it to be over 2 boxes.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

If it 11 wide 14 long and 16 tall you could fit quite a bit of meat in it

Pretty small box for that size of deer. I would expect 2 boxes at least. I normally butterfly back straps, keep tenderloins, cut the balance to be made in tenderized cutlets and balance in bacon burger. That is just for a big doe. So 1.5 to 2 boxes easy. Especially that sized box.

So time for some math...
9.5x18x10 is 1757 cubic inches
11x14x16 is 2464 cubic inches
So the box is 30% bigger than the yeti...

Especially that sized box. All I know is that jokers straps were huge and it's neck was probably the thickest I've seen in a long time. Not knocking CCR, just kinda caught me off guard.

I carefully deboned a 110 lb. doe (all except for the neck) and got 32 lbs. of meat. So the boneless meat yield was 29% of total body weight.

I wouldn't panic. I picked up a buck one time, 63 lbs in a 1.5 cu ft box, and there was room left over.

Wasn't there a thread on here awhile back about Cinnamon Creek shorting someone on their meat?

Where was shot placement? Any chance some of the meat was no good and had to be discarded?

Yeah but for every negative comment I've heard about them, I got a positive one...plus I've always have had awesome experience with their pro shop and the archery side of the business.
