My well educated guess says about 30 pounds of boneless meat with losing half a shoulder. The entire pack with bone in and skull wasn’t even close to 60.

Reality here.
2 bucks way bigger than average - my daughter’s 80+ on horns for sure if not so busted, mine 83 gross range. Both ancient- mine super old - will send in teeth but I suspect 7+
My daughter did all her butchering herself (I was not home) so I don’t know what the trim factor was. It was a giant buck we quartered and packed 1.6 miles to truck. Tote is slightly over 1 pound.
Mine (second image) lost almost an entire front shoulder due to where I shot him. Still roughly 28lbs finished weight. Had to be packed roughly 2 miles.
Both bucks were in garage 2-5 days so a little trimming on edges needed but these are real numbers.
