To be honest the packout wasn't bad at all. We were able to drive my truck closer, and we had sled to pull most of her out with. We do the "quick quarter" here. Just cut all four legs off, cut the back straps off the spine and cut out the tenderloins, or fillets, from inside. My wife carried the back straps and loins out and I carried a hind leg out on the first pack out. Then drove closer, and took the sled in. Was able to pull the remaining three legs out at once. Definitely can't do that without snow. As far as weight, according to Dr Google the average weight for a cow elk is 500-600 lbs. She was on the smaller side, probably 2.5 years old, so maybe 4-500 lbs?
