A quick google search shows even for a moose a 183 pound hind quarter is huge. Must have been a true quarter, bone in like a beef cow? That would make a little more sense, but even then...

  I was with you until I seen the quarter with the bone-in still in one piece.  Which means you are trying to say you packed out a 183lb quarter which makes me say *censored*.  I don't know how big quarters get but I do know what an average man can put on his back and walk.  Did you wheel these quarters out on a game cart? Or are you trying to say that the combined weight of the 2 rear quarters was 183lb.

I think you have to knock the hide off to really apreciate the muscle development of an older age class bull. As your locker pic shows, that bull is a ripper! All elk look big in field pics ( to me ) My bull this year was similar in size to the bull in your second pic, hes my biggest rosie to date. Hinds were 126, I was solo, so i boned the cage. But left bone in shoulders and hinds.

1100lb elk :chuckle:
That is what the butcher estimated live weight....again it was an estimation, no need need to be an *censored* and bust his balls over it. Didnt your mama teach you if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all!
