Title: Pics and Weights
Post by: Pazn25 on November 11, 2012, 08:07:34 PM: Many of us have had the opportunity to not only kill an elk but weigh them. Please post a pic of your elk and what it weighed out. I have killed an elk but dont have a scale to see what he weighed. I hear many saying their rosie weighed 800lbs etc. lets see those pigs

Post by: Sportfury on November 12, 2012, 11:36:37 AM: My sons bull last year was 416 hanging at the butcher shop. The bull he shot this year was even bigger, but I cut and wrapped him myself so no idea on the weight. I do know that I have over 60 lbs of burger meat and I filled the freezer in the house and the rest of the one in the garage.

For pics go to Cody's second elk in the youth forum.

This is after skinning, removing the hooves, and trimming fat off of him. I imagine his locker weight would have been over 600 lbs had we not trimmed the fat off of this pig! Its the biggest bull the butcher shop had ever taken in.

The meat photo doesn't do it justice because it is hanging in the background.

Post by: runningboard on November 12, 2012, 09:24:52 PM: hanging after skinning, gutting, no legs, fat trimmed, headless, my 6x6 417#, my 5x5 420#, my 5x6 415# all from GMU113, my wifes ID 4x4 455#, before internet police flame me or try to turn me in for 10 points, ID doesn't require orange & we took different routes to the downed bull & I took this pic as she 1st walked up on it, so that's why it's not tagged yet.

Post by: Jonathan_S on November 13, 2012, 07:50:47 PM: My thoughts as well. Kind of funny

Post by: Labs07 on November 14, 2012, 12:43:38 PM: Dont know what my bull weighed, he was big. My WY cow was too heavy to pull her into a good position to field dress. All meat in the freezer! Filled 2 upright freezers, that is what I care about.

All boned out, before I added any pork...it weighed 348 lbs..
Title: Re: Pics and Weights
Post by: Button Nubbs on November 15, 2012, 12:12:29 PM: My 6x6 was 375 at the butcher, that's 4 quarters and boned out meat. Anyone have a calculation to estimate weight on the hoof?
