Looking forward to seeing the details.
The heaviest one I've ever shot up here in MI was 23 1/2# and I can't imagine how big that bird must have been and looked as it came in if it was over 1/3rd bigger! I have seen one twice this year that I think may be in the upper 20s, but that's a far cry from over 37.6#.
