I for one like picking out my own meat for the most part. I can barely trust my wife to buy our vittles.

Actually, not a bad deal if you ask me. Figure a cow elk has around 700-800 lbs of meat on it. And it would be really tender, as the animal isn't running around the forest, but is on a 60 acre pasture. |

But that elk deal sounds great. Works out to under $2.50 a pound and elk is about the best meat I ever ate.

Sanders check this out.
For the record, the University of Wyoming study is on the Rocky Mountain subspecies of elk. For these elk, a field dressed weight (defined as viscera and feet removed) is 70% of the live weight and field dressed weights range from 176 lbs for a calf to 540 lbs to mature bulls and yield between 88 to 270 lbs of boneless meat.
https://www.backcountrychronicles.co...ck-out-weight/ Boned skinned minus the head hooves etc. their is quite a reduction in edible meat. Even with good processing the price for the meat could push it to $7 to $10 a pound? Not sure if my math is correct someone get out their calculator if they would? |

Then if you figure in the cost of elk tags, the hunt (if it is outfitted by a professional guide and outfitter), time off for the hunt, gear and processing, you are looking at some pretty big $$ for your "free" (if you hunt public lands) elk meat.
Kind of makes the $1,500 look like chump change once it is put into perspective. |
