Elk Meat Weight

[Hornseeker]

I am curious what official weight of meat you've put away? All my bulls and cows are from Montana. I have put anywhere from 185# to 219# of boned, trimmed, Clean elk meat in the freezer. No beef/pork fat added yet. Usually use about 40-50# of fat for various sausages and burgers....

How much meat do some of them dam big Rosies put out???

I cut my own as you do.  No bones, no fat, all trimmed before its wrapped.  I shot a 4x5 in Toutle last season and got 220lbs according to my bathroom scale.

My close huntin' buddy and I have always split our spoils 50/50.

a few years back I pulled a rosie tag and a eastside tag.....the year of the drawing debacle. I shot the biggest of the herd on both tags and I would guess the rosie was good for about 10-15lbs of meat above the rocky.....not a lot bigger.

Reason I ask, is because this year I have yet to weigh all my meat...but the hind quarters of this freakin monster bull I killed were smaller than the hinds from my last two "avg-small 6 points"... Without the Hock and hoof, the last two bulls hinds weighed in at 62 and 65# each. This big old bulls quarters, WITH the hocks and hoof, weighed 58!!! Couldn't believe it!

Yeppers, I have about 95# from a buck and a doe...put this approx. 200# in the freeze with about 45# of fat on that... I wont be cruising the meat aisle much...

I killed a rosey bull last year that was 630lbs field dressed and got about 250lbs off it...lotta fat on em!

Hey Ernie, that little 5x5 Roosie I killed this year the hinds (Bone in) were 65 ea. Front shoulders (Bone In) were 35 each, and the rest of the meat was boned out for a grand total of 260 lbs.

Biggest Rosie I killed, the back legs cut off at the achiles, skin removed, weighed 85 pounds each. Biggest Rosie I've ever seen weighed 860 field dressed. I saw it first hand at the butcher shop. I could not reach around the burr with both hands. Those were true Rosies.

85# each....dam! I think my buddies 320 bull was in the low 70's this year... much bigger than my dang 370 bull.... (but my antlers weighed more)

I though my bull was big, but that 860 field dressed bull made mine look like a cub scout.

I shot a cow in 2008 winston unit, and after cut wrap, weighed the meat at 331 lbs bone-in.  That included 25lbs jerky, 25lbs pepperoni, not sure about the amount of fat added to the burger, etc.

My wife's 4x4 from Idaho went 455 on the hook before being boned out.

My 300" 6x6 rosie weighed just at 495lbs at butcher. That was just meat and bone.
