Elk Quarter Weight - Early Season Cow

[cnelk]

I was fortunate enough to fill my B List tag opening evening with a big ol dry cow

Im back home now and got the meat all taken of.

I thought it would be a good idea to weigh the quarters, as there are several threads discussing that

Here are the weights - bone in/leg cut off at knee

Loose meat [backstraps/tenderloins] - 23lbs

Front shoulder - 34 lbs each

Hind quarter - 51lbs each

Total = 193lbs

The meat is fresh and cool. Less than 24hrs from field to home
This should give a good idea of what to expect

Good luck this year

Good job cnelk! I remember you from years ago on the elkcountry or elkcamp forum. I haven't been on there for quite a few years.

Appreciate you shedding some light with real world numbers. The only problem is everyone on Rokslide shoots 400" bulls therefore the quarters are at a minimum 100# each... usually more!

What time did you say that we should ALL come over to "sample" your success?

Thank you for the info. This definitely helps an elk newbie like me who's planning my first elk hunt this year.
