[QUOTE="Alan, post: 1071409, member: 378"] I hope Dave will not mind me answering your question, although Vic is correct by the time you gut, skin and quarter an elk it feels like several thousands of lbs. In Oregon and Washington on the west side of the cascade mountians we have Roosevelt elk, east of the cascades they have rocky Mountian elk. Roosevelt elk are larger, the largest of north American elk. Here's a cut and paste from Wikipedia on Roosevelt elk; Adults grow to around 6–10 ft (1.8–3 m) in length and stand 2.5–5 ft (0.75–1.5 m) tall at the shoulder.[4] Elk bulls generally weigh between 700 and 1100 lb (300–500 kg), while cows weigh 575–625 lb (260–285 kg).[2] Some mature bulls from Raspberry Island in Alaska have weighed nearly 1300 lb (600 kg).[2] [/QUOTE]
