Estimating live Elk weight
« on: November 03, 2003, 07:44:57 AM »
Got my elk last weekend. My question is can anyone guess the approx. live weight? I took JUST the 4 quarters (no leg below knee, no ribs, no neck, no backstrap, no loins, just the quarters, skinned-out) to the butcher and they weighed 155 lbs. This looked like a recessed older Elk as he was very large for a 2x1 (spikes are the only legal bulls in Wash. during general hunting season without a special permit).

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for pointing out the Western Big Game section. My bad.
