Those girth measuring game weight estimating tapes aren't very accurate at all. Look for an old Stillard scale for a more accurate way to weigh game animals. These are antique single beam balance scales that come in various sizes, and were used to weigh produce, grain, cotton bales, hogs, etc. They typically came with two counterweights, and the beam had two scales such as 0 to 50 lbs in 1/2 lb. increments with a 2 lb. counterweight, and 0 to 400 lbs. in 2 lb. increments with an 8 lb. counterweight. Very small versions may only go up to 20 lbs. and the largest one I have will weigh up to 800 lbs. But I recently saw a huge one that went up to 1600 lbs and used a 16 lb. counterweight on the high side. I didn't buy it because I don't anticipate weighing any Kodiak bears or Cape Buffalo.
