Live weight of both were probably about 1200 lb. But once you remove the hide, head, entrails etc. you end up with about 650 - 700 lb. We weighed one hind qtr and it was 186 lb. (Yummmmm) That's a lot of steaks/roasts.
Surprisingly though, they are not that difficult to hunt. The trick is not to act like a predator/hunter or they will run off immediately. We drove around until we found a herd. Stopped about 200 yds away. Then you basically just walk up toward them. That's when you have to keep up with them because they will be walking away when you get too close. But in the mean time you have to try to anticipate which way they will go and try to cut them off, all the while looking for the one you want. And be careful you do not get between a cow and an calf or the herd bull and his cows. Either way it could get dicey. That's why the guide is carrying a big gun. Usually a .45-70 or 350 Rem Mag. Sooner or later they will either run off and you have to start all over again or they will stop and stare you down. Then hopefully the one you want will turn broadside and be 'in the clear' giving you a shot. I happen to get lucky and get mine on the first attempt after only following them for about 150 yds. And I got to 27 yds of the one I wanted. It turned b-side to walk away again but stopped to get another look at what we were up to. But long enough for me to slip an arrow thru both lungs. It only went about 100 yds before falling. But then we had to wait for the some of the herd to get away from it before we could approach. And even when they did leave and we were getting ready to take some pics, this bull came running back over the hill and coming down on us hard and fast. But the guide got his rifle at the ready and started yelling at him and he stopped, snorted a couple times and ran back up the hill. I'll tell you what - That is one big a$$ animal to have running at you at full speed. I'm glad he stopped short. Because I think in about 10 or 15 more yds he would have been plugged.
