Some interesting elk weight numbers

1100lb elk

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!

From the sound of your post you need to practice what you preach 

no actually its mouthpieces like you that start arguments by be littleing someone else when they trying to explain an honest story.

Wasnt belittling anyone pal.. think what ya wanna. Lets get this thread back on its original path

Have had 2 bulls that weighed 340# + of deboned meat. Both were Montana bulls in the 350" class. Need to get a scale, so I can start weighing quarters. Have never brought out the bones, not sure why you would want the extra weight. Only takes 10 minutes to bone out a quarter

Had a rosy this year that was over the 300# mark of boneless meat..woulda been nice to know what the full quarters were...

Also it might be faster in the field to debone but if it takes me an extea couple hours to get the meat cleaned up for prossessing then its really not saving time in the long run..so short packs have the bone in most of the time just to save time back in the meat room

I had a bull couple years ago from west lewis county that we packed out in 6 pieces. Total was 472 lbs.

1100lb elk

We have weighed bulls out of Bear River, Williams Crk. at the truck scales outside of Raymond and there were a few that weighed 1000 lbs. Seen a few come off Long Island that were absolute pigs but they come out in pieces so never weighed them but an 1100 lb old Roosevelt is not out of the question from that area.  Some monster cows out there too.  Those elk dwarf the Rocky Mtn elk in body size.
