Turtle test run

[sdavis0321]

Here are a few pics from about 3 weeks ago when it was warm..LOL. This was 2 traps in 2 days. Not a whole lot but pretty good I think for the first warm spell of the season. The weather has since turned to crap out here so I will be back at it in about 3 weeks when it is a little more stable.

eeaakkk!! The one in the last picture does not look too happy. This might be a stupid question.....but how do you handle them without them taking off a finger??

[sdavis0321]

Just get 'em by the tail. I believe it is that their necks can stretch 1/3 of their length So you wanna stay clear of that area, grab 'em by the tail and hold them at arms length.

I haven't caught or ate turtles in a few years now

[sdavis0321]

They didnt feed them to you "back in time" Badger

I'll find a few this year with my bow. I like them best in a tomatoe beef broth based soup with lots of garlic.

sdavis0321 , How do you like to eat them?

[sdavis0321]

Just like you said! Cooked this one up a couple days ago!



Here is some extra garnish!
