Default RE: Wapiti Hunting Photos from last week

My guess is the dressed weight with head on would have been around 250 -300 pounds. Only a guess though. The Bull that was near full Wapiti would have been about 20% heavier. They are big beasts. Quite a tussle to get the headskins off and difficult to roll on your own. The young one shot for meat was about 5-6 months old and weighed around 100 pound. (About the size of a Whitetail deer.)
