I'm trying to have my gear ready for a drive up from Ohio for bull moose soon. From the internet I see meat from a bull range from 350-600 pounds, yet I've seen guy's saying substantially less. What number is realistic? Bringing 4 120qt and maybe one 150qt. what size cooler would it take for a cape if needed? Thanks everyone, super excited for this hunt I thought would never happen.

How did your hunt go?

I've only been once and went with Roberts , I say without reservation , they're great people and run a great program .

I just booked Roberts for a hunt in '27. After talking to several outfitters they seemed the best for what I was looking for.

...my father has gotten 600lbs [of meat] off a giant cow and about the same off his very nice bull 2 years ago. That's de boned meat weight.

Those are some really GIANT moose!

Several years ago I got all of the boned meat from my Alberta bull moose into 2 150 qt coolers, and when I took my gutted bull American Buffalo into the butcher, I got 495 lbs of burger and another small box of the filets and backstraps, maybe 530 lbs total.

I usually figure 1/3 of the live weight is de boned into the freezer.
