Turtle huntin'?

[Delvehound]

I was flipping through the small game booklet last night and saw snapping turtles in season. I've never seen turtles around here. Does anyone know anything about turtles? Where to find them? How to hunt them, and all that stuff.

I see turtles ever so often fishing but I never knew or wanted to hunt them.

Nuisance animal. Harasses livestock.

Especially when there are one eyed snakes in the water. I saw one at Sawhill ponds a few years ago it was the size of a toilet seat(the big kind) if I wanted to I could have reached down and picked him up and lose a diget or 2. I don't mess with them.

People eat snapping turtles. I've never tasted it but some people love it.

I worked on a Bison ranch up near Wray one summer during High School, and it had a creek running through the property that always had water in it. We had snappers in it that were huge! Big enough to do serious damage if they got hold of you. They didn't mess with the Bison, or cows, so we left them alone.

I've heard of people eating them too, but I don't think I'd care to try.

The "Assault" ones are pretty dangerous too....
