We take off the tenderloins, backstraps, and neck meat; this all goes into one bag. Rear and front quarters are taken off, then ribs are sawn off next to the spine. 1 front quarter fits into one set of ribs and into a bag. Rear quarters go into a bag by themselves. Smallest elk weighed 50 lbs front/ribs and 56 rear. Largest weighed 100 lbs front/ribs and 130 rears; that was a fun day, 2 miles one way in 85 degree weather... Average is about 80 for front/ribs and 90 for rears.
