Here's my 6X6 Elk I took Sept.19. Man am I thrilled. Hunt took place somewhere west of Grande Prairie,AB. Question for you elk hunters. Weighed 550 lbs. at the meatcutters with hide lower legs and head off. What would you figure "live weight" would have been?
Cheers

Congrats. Thats a nice animal. Elk, above all others is the biggest score. Nice animal, nice meat, and I bet you still got that buzz going enough to do it again next year.
 
Now that's what I call a trophy. Do you intend on having it scored?

Congrats on that majestic animal.

Thanks guys. A fellow in my Alberta buddy's town will score it and I'll get back to you. Weight at the butchers would have been more if a bear hadnt taken about 20 lbs from a hind quarter while it was hanging on the meat pole overnight.

nice elk.
I bet the guts and head would have gone 100 pounds with the hide and lower legs at least another 50 so my guess is 700+ pounds live weight
