it depends on the moose, but the butchered weight (bone out) is roughly 30-35% of the live weight, which works out to 400-500lbs worth of meat.

on a deer, the butchered weight (bone out) is roughly 40-45% of the live weight, but the weight of the bones, hide, etc. on a moose is greater so you get a lower return.
