Stinkin' bait stealin', frog eatin' turtles!
mullet:
I like them but I prefer Soft shell turtles over the snappers. The soft shells sell for around $8 a pound at the fish markets down here.
jeff halfrack:
Good eatin!! freeze that shell till traping season!!! coon can't resist it just burry a trap under it dont forget to wire the shell to a stake, to use again JW
cowboy:
Well, don't look too appetizin but how was it ;D?
FlintWalker:
Gstoneberg, you're right...cleaning one is a chore.
We haven't ate him yet, but I've eaten LOTS of them. My grandpa used to keep up to 75 or so in stock tanks when I was younger. We'd all light in and clean them in a day. :o Ever see a wash tub full of turtle meat ;D
My Daddy always fried 'em low and slow and they were real good. I went all out on this one. I took every muscle apart and cleaned all the sinew and fat off it. I'll let it soak in salt water for a few days and fry it up. It'll be good ;)
BTW, it DON'T taste like chicken...It tastes like turtle :D

:) :) Let me know how it is,the last I had years ago was fine. My pond is full of them,no fish just
turtles.I seen a guy skin the neck on a big one like that and used it for a bow grip. That was cool. :) He just wet it and pulled it over the handle ,when it dried it was tight,no stitching. :)
