We used 6 goats to pack out Doc's 6x6 this year.
3 -40lb loads
3 - 30lb loads
And I carried 10lbs, Doc packed the cape and antlers. 220lbs of boned out meat.
Here's a link to a very informative study of the elk carcass by the U of WY. They address meat care and have very good estimates of the boneless meat you can expect from various ages and sex.
