Thats a good point coastal native. I got mine on september 7th. The two halves hanging at the butcher equalled 495 with bone and nothing else. He has weighed many of our animals and yes his scales are accurate. I dont know how much pure meat we brought home though. At 495 meat and bone, what would be a good educated guess at what we brought home? All I know is there were a ton of bags! :P

This bull was taken from farmland by a 67 y/o friend of mine (guy in the pic). It was placed whole in the back of my truck and we skinned it and delivered it whole to the butcher who weighed it at 372 lbs. You guys that are weighing bulls in at 500lbs might want to check your scales.

Number of points doesnt equal large body size. While that is a great elk he is a little on the thin side. Yes there are many bulls from western washington that weigh around the 450-500lb mark, just meat and bone.
