Actual Weight of Meat - Can we be honest?

Both rib rolls and neck roasts will weigh about what a hind quarter weighs. So you can add 50-70lbs to your total there. Well, less if your total included neck roasts.

I did have neck roasts. I didn't take a whole lot of time with them but buckled off quite a bit.

I haven’t weighed it separately, but I bet the neck roasts make up a substantial portion of my trim bag’s weight on a bull or buck.

For certain it did in mine.

Didn’t weigh the head or cape, but this year’s mule deer was 122lbs bone in. That’s quarters, backstraps, tenderloins, rib rolls neck roasts and heart. No way I could have packed that very far in a single load.
