Carcass Weights?
Hi all,
I am starting to plan a hunt or two for 2016. Looking at the 2015 hunting prices its better to shoot a larger animal,... more bang for buck!
In your experience, what is tha average dressed carcas weight (skinned, head and hooves off, intestines out) for the following animals:
1. Eland Cow/ Bull
2. BWB Cow/ Bull
3. Kudu Cow/ Bull
Comments appreciated.

The live weight doesn't seem that far off. A live cow can weigh up to 200kg.

All weights stated is animals that I would be aiming for.
1 eland cow 200kg bull 250>
2 bwb cow 100kg bull 120>
3 kudu cow 80kg bull 120>.
Obviously bulls can be much bigger, above is about what I will be satisfied with.

Re: Carcass Weights?
I see that this is still offline. If I may get in touch with the original host of the calculator I would appreciate it. I would like to explore what the cost to host it would be etc. And look at possibly looking at a form to allow submissions of data for approval before it is added to the database. Would anybody be interested in such a thing?
