632 pounds field dressed. What would be the on-the-hoof weight?

A Maine guide is traditionally given something like half or a third the meat ass additional compensation fora successful hunt.

Animals vary by species. Im no expert on moose and dont see anyone giving moose specific numbers. Its a deer and other deer lose about one third so...960ish?

Smaller than average for a bull. Hopefully for the hunter that means it was a young one.

Of course you lose a lot more once its fully processed but a small amount of that total loss can be recouped by prepared hunters rescuing some choice parts that others may leave behind. In my case with other deer that would be tongue, heart, liver, and kidneys.
