As indicated by the weights posted by a couple of coastal hunters, Roosevelt elk are a LOT bigger and heavier than Rocky Mountain elk.
I have pondered whether to post the weight of the heaviest Roosevelt bull I ever heard of, but think I will pass and skip being called a liar. FWIW it was NOT an average elk, but was huge in every dimension including antlers. A cousin killed it and since it was warm weather, took to a meat cutter where the skinned quarters were weighed on a butcher's scale. The butcher said, “That can't be right,” and weighed it again. In more than 20 years of weighing elk, this one was over 100 lbs. heavier than any he had weighed. The weight was comparable to a mature bull moose in the southern Interior of BC. My family has killed several Roosevelts with scale weights comparable to scale weights of southern moose.
