Blowgun Fishing for Giant Snapping Turtles! {Catch and Cook}

- Blowgun hunting always presents more of a challenge than hunting with a firearm and it makes a kill so much more rewarding at the end. This was one of the most challenging hunts I have been on in a while and it was also very fun.

I tried a new method for cleaning the turtle in this video and I was able to take a lot more meat off of it than the previous turtles I have cleaned. This is how I cleaned it.🔽 • Turtle Trapping Part 3...

Catching turtles with a blowgun. You've just shown me ANOTHER thing I've never seen! Way to go!
Thanks man!
@ wish life outdoors some of the things you kill hunt what ever you want too call it some animals aren't even pests like doves, turtles etc I just think your a complete nobhead....not all animals should be hunted your giving kids a outlook that it's right to go out just with a air rifle slingshot what ever it may be and hunt what ever they come across in the UK you can't do any of that otherwise there is consequences you can go shop market buy food so why kill a innocent animals that aren't even pests like example turtles a lot of animals in this life coming extinct endangered and your posting videos to hunt animals fair enough some people have to hunt food to eat in certain circumstances like some tribes but even they only hunt certain animals and also give back to the land you don't you can eat and in your videos I've seen you'd basically hunt most things
@ wish life outdoors and fair enough something's may be educational but yours isn't I don't think anyone can go out with an air rifle kill something what is the education there in your videos hunting turtles isn't a lot of the species are already endangered
Opposums are also endangered some of the species of them.
@@ethannewcombe7004 Snapping turtles? They're everywhere
I just discovered you yesterday and I instantly subscribed and every video I watch is better than the one before. You are awesome
Thank you, I really appreciate it!!
same love the pellet hunting vids
Love your videos! I'm in my 60s and thought I was pretty decent at using various weapons, rifles, bow, slingshot etc, when I was in my teens and 20s but wow!!! You put me to shame. Blow dart for turtles never even crossed my mind.
I use firearms of all types rifles, shotguns, handguns both semi-auto and revolvers. I use knives, swords, tomahawks and axes. I use black powder and cap and ball percussion firearms. I use traditional and compound bows and crossbows. I use high powered air rifles both springers and PCPs in .177, .22 and .25 caliber. I use big bore .625 blowguns. I also use slingshots on occasion and just located a handmade one yesterday I built in 1987 while searching around in the basement. Too many "gun guys" and that's ALL they know. Even worse ARs in 5.56 and polymer striker fired semi-auto 9mm pistols are ALL they own and have. They severely handicap themselves by doing so. Both of which are nearly worthless in wilderness survival and hunting situations. They don't even own a .22 LR or a shotgun much less anything else. I've been doing this for 42 years and started in 1982. It's been a minute and I forgot more than most of these people will ever know about it.
Pretty sure your the first person to blow gun and slingshot a snapper Tim Wells would be proud
Take a dremmel to the ends and create some barbs. This will help you hold things easier than the regular triangle shape
Perseverance...............
So different for me.
Exhilarating stuff actually.
Respectful regards from South Africa.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone go after a snapping turtle with a blowgun before, that’s awesome!
been waiting for another upload
Glad I was eating lunch while watching this-man that looked good.
This video is friggin awesome, keep making these awesome blowgun videos
Thanks, sure will!
Never have tried turtle. Enjoy your videos!
Thanks! I can't wait to get some more they are so tasty.
Impressing 😊
Great vid like always!
Thank you!
That was awesome! I've taken turtles with .22's and even spear guns but never with a blow gun. I'd sit down with you and eat turtle any day but not those darned cicadas. Real nice job. I enjoyed it.
Thank you! That'd be fun hunting them with a spear gun. I think those cicadas would have made a nice side with the turtle lol they were almost as good.
@@blockethoutdoors When I was doing survival training for the Army we had to find and eat grasshoppers, grubs, worms and several other living things that I can't recall at the moment. I'm glad that it was an off season for cicadas
That was impressive man.
Impressive! Very nice.
The suspense is killing me. Lol
I’d really like a detailed how to on how you set up your blowgun. I’d really like to do the same with mine.
great vid as always 👍
Thanks man!
Nice shot
That right there is amazing
Turtle meat is *wow* good. I've gotten snappers over 50 pounds, but the average I get is 25 pounds. To date, 40+ turtles. Only in the USA; they're not legal to hunt in Mexico. My first one, only 20 pounds, took me 8 hours to clean while I was learning. Each consecutive one took 45 minutes less until now, I can clean a snapper in less than 30 minutes. I used a .22 to dispatch them. Skulls are too hard for a normal pellet gun. The tenderloin is pure white meat, fishy flavor, a little difficult to get to, with a pair of pliers to break the ribs off the top shell and a really flexible filet knife to cut it out of the ribcage. I deep fry all my turtles unless I want to make soup.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I would like to taste turtle too, I like to taste meat of different animals... You are lucky to have the opportunity to travel to the US to hunt them... I think the animal protection is too strict. In my opinion, only the really endangered iconic animals as pandas or rhinos should be protected from hunting but turtles... why? Turtles are abundant, they can be hunted in one country but not in another country... makes no sense! Enjoy your hunting trips, have many kills! Btw why just turtles? How you got into turtle hunting, especially when you cant hunt them in your homeland? They are probably not a typical thing to hunt...
@Lukáš Bejček I hunt wild hogs and Axis deer in Texas, top. And coyotes and rabbits. Last week a coyote killed my outside guard dog. So I hunt coyotes no matter where I am. They are very destructive. I appreciate your words. God bless you!
@@MexicoAdventurer Oh, I am so sorry for your dog. Have no mercy for the coyotes, they are really nasty things! I think their overpopulation is getting worse since there is no more such big demand for their fur, isnt it? I believe you manage to revenge your dog properly! Still better the dog than if the coyote wounded you or some your mate... Always pleasure to meet such a passionate hunter as you. Hogs, axis, coyotes, rabbits... and 40 turtles 😉...nice!! You must always have plenty of delicious meat! Good luck and smoke the coyote population, buddy!
@@lukasbejcek8841 I have been trying to get my wife and her family to eat barbecue coyote and coyote rostizado (rotisserie charcoal fired coyote) but I end up eating it all myself. 🤣👍
@@MexicoAdventurer Haha, I didnt know coyote meat is edible at all! But you hunt them primarily as vermins, dont you? I have a coyote hide on thw wall as a decoration, so I have contributed to chasing them as a customer at least, but I think the demand for coyote fur is falling... And that is a shame because if there is something good on coyotes, it is only their fur in my opinion! What do you like best to eat from the species you take? The turtles?
Love the blowgun!
I appreciate it!
Hay man you eat everything 😮 and anything
I would love to try one. I hear they are good.
We love u
Hi "OTTO" 🤭😂
Turtle nuggets are some sort of good. Gator isn't half bad either. You should try some soft shell turtles , they are tasty.
I love your videos I
I watched a video of a chef preparing a turtle and it seemed like a lot for a little. So many bones and joints the meat was very scarce. I had turtle soup and wasn’t very impressed
that pond looked nasty lol how does it get new water?
you need some merch
How thick of slingshot bands and what size shot?
Tim Wells fish hawk darts give you a much better chance of the dart not coming out.
If you notch out the back of the arrow heads Either side makes a barb so it will be go in and stay it
Bro you need to modify your dart so it wont come off so easy when you pull.
You should go to that pond and snag some turtles they fight hard
That would be pretty fun. They didn't fight as hard as I thought they would. I think that was just because it was close to the middle of the pond and there was nothing the turtle could grab with it's claws.
You need barbs on the arrows so they hold better
Bro u shud make barb on the tip blade, so every time u hit it will not slip out.
try using harpoon darts
I would check your regulations on jugging, it's not legal in my state
I did it's legal. Hopefully I can trap that big one that got away from me haha
@@blockethoutdoors for sure, glad it's legal in your state, doesn't make sense why it wouldn't be
How many of these videos do you make and not end up using because it wasn’t a successful hunt or what not?
I’d love to see a video of all the failed hunts and why etc.
Usually I just delete the footage of videos I end up scrapping. Doesn’t happen too often though maybe like one or two out of ten videos.
Love the idea but without barbed dart you are just wounding or killing all those that got away.
I will try filing the dart into a barb next time I go blowgun fishing. I was pretty lucky that the last turtle stayed on as long as he did.
this men doen't have a kitchen. I wonder where he makes contact with civilasation
Next time use a net
You live in ohio ??
This is terrible bro thank God you didn't mamevever fucking title u came across
Psalms are fairytales
Wow you're so edgy bro....
My guy you are so wrong
so is life
WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT.........
YOU DIDN'T SHOW US HOW YOU PREPPED THE TURTLE HOW YOU SKINNED IT. DID YOU STICK IT IN THE TUB AND WASH AND SCRUB IT UP DID YOU STICK IT IN A 5 GALLON BUCKET HOW DID YOU DO IT? BACK WHEN I WAS A KID THEY WOULD STICK IT IN THE BATHTUB AND THEY LET IT PLAY AROUND IN THE TUB FOR A FEW HOURS AND THEN THEY DRAIN THE WATER AND THEN THEY WOULD ADD MORE WATER LET IT SIT FOR A FEW MORE HOURS SCRUB IT UP AND GET THE ALL THE MUD AND NASTY TASTE OFF OF IT THE NEXT DAY THROUGH THE FINAL WASH AND THEN YOU KILL THE TURTLE AND YOU BEGIN TO CLEAN IT ...
WHICH AT CASES ONLY CONSISTED OF EATING THE TAIL. SO HOW MUCH MEAT DID YOU GET WHERE ALL DID YOU GET YOUR MEAT FROM ON THIS TURTLE
