    Why would you want to hunt a turtle?

    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 "Tactical" ones are a threat
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

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