Unless you are extremely large, I'd say yes. That is a lot of hide.

Most half hides, I get about 4'*6', after removing the belly. The best way to do it, is physically go and look at the hide. The way it usually goes, you need a big piece, and they send you something with a hole or brand or other defect, right where you don't want it.
