well

looks like you better throw that sheet away and keep the scale.

Was it gutted

Had you gutted the deer? The sheets are for live weight, that would be about right field dressed.

he was not guted

no

chest measurements are shakey

Pull the tape soft its 45 inches. Pull it real tight its 40" and so on. And (according to the "sheets" I've looked at), add or subract just one inch and the corresponding weight varies quite a bit. You can't "check" the sheet, but you CAN check your scale. Know your own weight? Jump on and give'er a check for accuracey.
