I've done the math for you (assuming a deer is 40 inches wide across the body - shoulder to rump):
First you need a conversion factor to get from MOA to Meters or Yard:
MOA to yards = 0.01047
MOA to Meters = 0.01145

Decide which you what to use....

Now, if you look at an deer that is standing side on and you see in your reticle that it is 6 MOA wide we can now do the maths;

40" divided by 0.01047 divided by 6 MOA = 636.8 yards

or 40/0.01047/6 = 636.8

Or you could buy a range finder...
