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


That has been my experience as well.


And mine, with respect to different moose sizes.

A really big Yukon/Alaska bull weighing 1500# will up the percentage of meat to live body weight to 45% or a bit more. The smaller the live body weight, the smaller the percentage of boneless meat.

Are you on a Resurrection Tear or what?

I generally don't reference post dates- whatever pops up on the screen I go with.

If I'm real lucky, I don't contradict my own earlier post..... smile
