Every bayou has turtles. I'm looking for a baby alligator snapper or the like

If you want a turtle the bayou near my hose has all kinds of turtles.

Reba couldn't have said it any better.

EVERYTHING is impulse with EK hahaha
Up in Maryland, we had a feeder stream between the C&O canal and the Potomac River. We ALWAYS had HUGE snappers (don't think they were the alligator kind) laying eggs in the bar pit (where the railroad would toss the used cross ties when they replaced the ones under the tracks). I remember catching them for a a neighbor who made turtle soup...always had a pot boiling out back of his house.
A few years back I was visiting and my dog Scooby (RIP) was barking like mad. I poked my head out the window.... and there was a snapper larger than a larger metal trash can lid. Up there, they are considered a nuisance animal and a danger to small children. My dad took it out with a .22. If I remember correctly, the shell had a diameter of 37".... We didn't measure stretched head to tail... because they can still snap when dead -nerves still active for a while after death. I will just say, it could have easily taken off my arm.
Just a little story for fun ;-) Luckily Scooby was smart enough to bark from a distance.

That's weak, I want something that can do some damage.

I agree, but are you gonna get a bigger tank? Or is this another impulse thing?

[barrettsline]

Who said i need to catch them? They have been crawling up behind Lan's house and trip her AC unit alarm system. (Yes she has an alarm system for her AC, don't ask why).

Copper wires nga! People getting jacked!

Damn Q you really want a turtle? I can nab one from the ditch behind Lan's House if you like. There is a lot back there.

Hell yeah! I want a baby though!

They are harder to catch than one would think though... from my experience as a bayou diver.

lol...this was like 4 years ago man...
all i can remember is that i was still using xsi, and looked like the lens was the 100mm macro...
maybe reading the exif will still tell the shutter speed and all that...
but the first pic is horrible lol...white balance is way off...

Lol, I'm being lazy b/c I'm at work. I'm run it on Opanda.

[thebaoster]
