we have to report our big game animal( turkey, deer, bear and moose) into a weigh and check station, no matter what it is. even when it comes to moose season, everything but the innards has to be weighed, and let me tell you, it ain't easy getting a big critter like that out of the woods. perhaps more states should do that, for one thing you will get an accurate measure of an animal's weight instead of some inflated number like i have heard come out of one state(pa). field dressed, of course.
