      It doesn't matter. You can catch turtles on any live bait. I've caught them on chicken meat, gizzards, livers. Hot dogs, worms, bacon, shrimp. Turtles LOVE baitfish and shrimp to a lesser degree. You can even use frozen saltwater baitfish or cut bait on freshwater turtles. They like cold salty fish. I don't know why.
      Btw I have NEVER fished for turtles. They were always by-catch.

I worked at a FL native wildlife rehab on the west coast and I carry baby wipes and hand sanitizer in my car now because I'm always finding some critter in distress or that needs to be moved.

    Growing up l, we always used gallon milk jugs as a bobber to keep our chicken livers from settling to the bottom of the pond. Snapping turtle is great tasting meat but you just have to keep them alive and in a plastic kiddie pool and feed it chicken feed or coarse ground cornmeal for about a day and a half to clean out their insides prior to reselling, filleting and crockpotting the meat. Damn fine meal

Humans happen to be predatorious omnivores since 2-4 million years back. If we can eat them, they are meant to be hunted. Do you sort animals out of worth?

We heard tell these turtles would snap your toes right off, so no one would put their feet off the boat in the water after that.

      @BigJyeTV they eat little ducklings by biting their legs and drowning them before eating them. They prey also wild ducks and geese, but the prey fight trying to fly and is too huge to be taken under water, so the turtles shreds part of the bird body by detaching the legs and in ducks also interior parts, letting the pray/victim to die by agony maybe in days with the wounds full of maggots eating the goose or duck still alive but dying slowly in pain.

      @EM.1 5 років тому +3

      @BigJyeTV but the snapping turtles are classified as infest type of animals, where there are snapping turtles there’s no other waterfowl. They live longer so can reproduce a lot and create overpopulation in the entire wetlands, because when too much in a pond they move to a new lagoon lake near so every place where they live in overpopulation is lifeless except for snapping turtles.
      By logical reasoning there must be a way to reduce their number, and eating them is a zero waste way.
      There’s no other animals in this environment, not in the world as you made reference, but here in Northern America continent, that makes the habitats unlivable to every other animal that normally co habit in the same habitat with others different species.
      Snapping turtles must be controlled and reduced in numbers.

He would reach in and pull the turtle out using both hands. He did this relying on the premise that the turtles don't back into their borrows but swim in ,enter head first.
