[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 870685, member: 13632"] The average elk in the greater Yellowstone area will be 250 pounds on the rail, that's from weighing several thousand of them on certified scales. The average trim would run 115 pounds and the steaks would run 65 lbs so 180 pounds. We tracked every statistic for every animal we processed and if I saw 80 pounds of meat come out of the freezer on an elk I would go back and find the rest OR there had better be a dang good reason for it like spoiling or shot with a grenade, if I got an animal like that I called the customer and had them come down and look at it so as to avoid problems. If you look at my numbers you can see how fast you loose meat if you don't take the flanks or blow of the shoulder, you can seriously impact your yield by shot placement and then loose more by how you handle it in the field and at home.
