Just shy of 5", maybe 5 pulled tight. It was 90* out and I was trying to get him cleaned up pretty quick. Forgot about checking the weight until I was working on taking the fan off, didn't bother at that point. Seemed fairly average for around here, probably 15-16lbs. Fan is in the freezer, still have to stake it to cardboard and salt it. Considering using this one to hunt with, but it'll most likely just get pinned up somewhere. I'm smoking another batch of venison tomorrow, so I'm going to try to smoke a breast and see how it comes out.
