Yes, this is often spot on. Only time I've seen a slight variation is on a late season buck that's run himself thin. We've used this for years!

There is a similar Hog weight estimate formula for wild hogs, here it is.
Quick reference estimate of a hog's weight.
Formula used to estimate:
Heart girth is measured in inches using a cloth measuring tape. The tape is placed directly behind the front legs,
wrapped snugly around the heart girth, and read directly behind the shoulders.
pig weight = 10.1709 x Heart girth (inches) minus 205.7492.
Found to be 95% accurate to within 10 lbs
Using the above formula, we get the following:
40 inch = 200 pounds
42 inch = 220 pounds
43 inch = 230 pounds
44 inch = 240 pounds
45 inch = 250 pounds
-------------------------------
46 inch = 260 pounds
47 inch = 270 pounds
48 inch = 280 pounds
49 inch = 290 pounds
-----------------------------
50 inch = 300 pounds
51 inch = 310 pounds
55 inch needed to get around 350 pounds

I would say that if the Game Commission put that out, it is probably pretty close. And I think I have figured out how it works. Deer don't have beer guts to offset the formula!

When I raised feeder pigs that is the way I would tell when they were ready for market.I still use it for weight of horses for worming and keeping an eye on overall condition.Was generally within 5lbs.
