Question ISO: Heavy duty scale to weigh animals

Im looking for a good heavy duty scale to weigh animals. Ive always been curious about the live weight of a full grown deer, bear, etc. Cabelas as some digital ones but the review are hit and miss. If you have one you would recommend, that would be greatly appreciated!

I have one of those spring scales, it’s accurate and works easily. You don’t have to weight the whole animal...pieces and a calculator works.

I have the Cabelas digital. It has been flawless for 3 years. Got it on sale for under 100 bucks.

Could look for a pack scale. The type used to make sure both panniers are the same weight before loading stock.
