That's what we find too. Expect about 35%-40% of the live weight in boneless meat.


I think that is what I found (35-40) when researching it before my Newfoundland hunt a few years back. I shot a large moose. I brought him back in 2, 200-quart Colemans and had plenty of room for ice. The meat weighted 300 pounds boned and vac sealed. We did not take neck meat, or strip the ribs, either (that is just how they did it). We did eat ribs and heart in camp, though.


You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
