You can estimate live, field dressed, and butchered weight of a deer from its girth behind the shoulders. You can google for the formula or you can look up the Pennsylvania Game Commission and purchase one of their calibrated tape measures for about a dollar.

The same method is also used for other species as well. Some measures require nose to tail base length, but most ungulates are just girth.
