[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1769365, member: 13632"] Each bullet hole will cost too, our average when cutting meat was 115 of trim meat and 65 of steaks from a average rail weight of 251 lbs, which included calves to bulls and average shooting and meat care. You can start taking of a lot of weight when bullets go through heavy bone or get into the back end, top of the shoulders always knocks out a big chunk because you blow a hole in your trim and steak pile. Heavy quartering shots that guys push a bullet through the guts is a super high meat waster because the of side always ends up PACKED with salad and there's a good 16+ lbs right out of the gate min. Butt shots don't actually take out much meat cause it stays in a channel and then runs the seams which leaves a lot of large solid blocks but your trim pile goes up and your steaks drop to 30-40 lbs. Just splitting the brisket and pelvis costs 5-6 lbs and is totally unnecessary but gathers so much dirt and hair that needs trimmed out. There's a LOT of ways to drop the meat yield on an elk!!!
