My Maine fall jake--taken this morning at 7:45 during the state's first modern autumn turkey gun season--weighed 10 1/2 lbs. at the check-in station. Of the inch-long beard, the Yankee gentleman remarked: "Well you've got to staht some whey-yuh."
Good hunt, albeit one day and done, but I'll take it.
