In our neck o' the woods, a large turtle would be a snapping turtle. But
even alligator snappers generally don't get any larger than 200lbs or a bit
over. And they're not common at all this far North.
So, it was most likely a large common snapping turtle, but they rarely
weigh more than 35lbs.
So, let's say it was a common snapping turtle combined with a healthy slug
of moonshine.
