Calculate on-the-hoof bull moose weight?

[MichelD]

Say you deliver a 600 pound carcass to the butcher.

What did the bull weigh before you took head, hide off, guts out and legs off?

Likely double that.

You can use the following formula to work backwards. If you know the weight of edible meat, you can calculate the hanging weight, field dressed weight, etc.. You can calculate from any weight. If you know the hanging weight, than you could estimate the field dressed weight and the live weight.
Edible Meat Weight X 1.35 = Hanging Weight X 1.33 = Field Dressed Weight X 1.26 = Live Weight

If the hanging weight is 600lb, the field dressed weight would be 798lb, and the live weight would be 1005lb
