Weighing game animals
Murie OJ. 1928. Weighing game animals. Journal of Mammalogy. 9(1):74-75
In seeking information in the literature on the weights of game animals, many records are found to be almost useless because insufficient data are given. To make such records most useful several definite facts should be furnished: 1. It should be stated whether the given weight was estimated or the animal was actually weighed. 2. The sex and approximate age of the animal should be noted. 3. It should be stated whether the figures given refer to live weight or dressed weight. 4. The date of killing has a definite value.
