Got lost, if you have never gotten an elk over 3 years old, your under 200 lbs. of meat statement is correct. If you have killed elk over 3 years old, you are wasting a LOT of meat, or your butcher is. Stubble hit the elk weights right on the button for the age class of elk. Region and state don't make any difference in elk size. My results mirror his exactly. I too weigh my elk, it isn't guessing, like many on here do. I had a guy tell me last year that his Colorado bull was over 1,200 lbs. field dressed. I laughed and told him he was full of it. He said Colorado bulls are a LOT bigger than Utah and Wyoming bulls (yea right). I love the giant 6x6 1,200 lb. bull stories every year......right along with the 900 yard running shots. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ...oh and don't forget the guy on here that gets 200 lbs. of meat off of his deer every year. That one still cracks me up. Flinch
