According to google, a deer has a height between 0.85 to 1.5 metres. According to the Texas Almanac, the Lone Star State extends 801 straight-line miles (from north to south). This equates to 1289084,54 metres.

Taking this into account, a deer is between 0,00000066 and 0,0000012 Texas.

I hope this helps.

But how many square burgers is that?

Great question!! Ok a rough estimate is the best I can do. As everything is bigger in Texas, I will take a relatively big deer for reference. As you will understand, I must compare area with area, so here goes:

Taking a BigMac as a reference and assuming a patty diameter of 10.4cm Source. This would lead to an area of 84.95cm2.

A bigger deer skin could be 150x139 cm Source. On the one hand this is an overestimation because those are the maximum measures and it’s not perfectly square, but on the other hand we’re not taking certain area’s such as the hooves and head into account. The area comes to 20850cm2.

So one deer is, in terms of area, as big as 245,4 hamburgers.

Again, I hope this helps.

I assume you're still measuring in Texas Deer units..

Yes, very helpful!

Somewhere between 746 and nineteen quintillion. Hope that helps.
