You might get 100 pounds of edible meat out of it. All the meat on the impact side is a bloody coagulated mess of jelly and no good. Everything on the non impact side is good to go. You might get the backstraps but I cannot see the other side. It is imperative to gut it right away and get the chest cavity cleaned out. I carry a skinning knife with e all the time and a pistol between the seat and the console for just such an emergency.
He won't get 100 lbs of edible meat out of it if half of it is no good.
As far as gutting it goes, look into some of the articles online about gutless field dressing. I grew up gutting deer but have seen the light - screw that noise. On a smaller deer you can carry the quarters out intact along with the backstraps, tenderloins and neck meat, or on a bigger deer you can bone out the quarters pretty quickly and pack it out in one trip. So much easier and cleaner.
