I'd say the weight is what they get back from the butcher. We let the butcher know we had weighed quarters when we would drop them off as my outfitter has had issues with it coming back very short. @R93 how did you find moose? It's shocked me how good it was especially from rutting bulls.

Last outfit I worked for we only weighed some of them for the same reasons you mentioned.
Unfortunately didn't weigh that big boy as it went home with the client. This last season was made harder as we had to take neck meat and ribs. Just offal, shot damaged meat and spine left for the preds and crows.

I agree. Surprising how good eating they are, especially considering they're rutting bulls.
I enjoy all the game meat I have tried but if had to live on only one, it would be moose. Especially the liver. Yum.
I have had some chewy stuff but flavour has been really good.
Makes you wonder what a younger animal would go like.
