I'd bet none. Big bugs in a population of spineys are usually male. May vary on the NE mudbugs on steroids.

Anybody sexed those monsters?

Here the big ones these days are almost all female, IME it's rare to take a big male. Females with eggs are often V-notched (a v cut in their tail) which means you can't take them.

BTW, if you see a bug this big - don't mess with it - it's way, way to big to take legally - why risk culling it just to drag it out it's hole?
