i can say that a gf of mine and i (this was 5 years ago now) killed a
14-pound bird, plus *al* the fixins... we are both rather svelte, too,
just big eaters...

for my family of four while growing up, a 20# bird would be, well, a
little too slight...

i just had some moose a couple weeks ago... very lean meat... but
then, i don't know the context that you mention it...
