[@gbody_juice4016]

Good trap brody 💪🏾

We used to take nylon cord and a big hook and hook a chicken thigh and sling it out in the pond and catch some big turtles.

[@bloodsweatandgears87]

I might end up trying that method shortly!

[@TrappingTheMitten-JohnHowell]

They really are a awesome creatures. Definitely a cool catch!
It's a good-sized one for this region. But I'm sure down there you can find a much larger one!
Thanks for sharing

[@bloodsweatandgears87]

I plan to set for them when it warms up a little more and see if we can't pull a monster out of there!!! I was told there is a REALLY REALLY REALLY big one that was seen over there awhile ago. Hopefully he's still in there! lol

[@johngallagher2313]

Those common snappers can be real mean. He is probably just a little cold. When the weather warms turtles in conibear traps is a problem

[@bloodsweatandgears87]

I can imagine! I plan to go back to that pond and set a few cage style traps for snappers when it warms up.

[@deadpinecollective]

Cool stuff. A wee bit different from our trapping up here in Canada 😁

[@CountyLineAdventures]

I’ve been meaning to try that as well. Good luck and keep us updated. We went to an old guys house one time and he served us snapper in the shell. 😂 🐢

[@bloodsweatandgears87]

Will do! How was the turtle in a shell!?!? lol

[@CountyLineAdventures]

@@bloodsweatandgears87 It was alright! 😂 Little to much for the wife… 😂 it was the shell, head, legs and the whole nine yards. 😂

[@bloodsweatandgears87]

@@CountyLineAdventures Wowwwww.. lol.. didn't know all that was still attached!!! 😂😂😂

[@weavaman2216]

Man they aint nothing better than turtle meat.

[@bloodsweatandgears87]

I've never had it, but plan to try it in the next couple months! I'm planning to set a few repeating style turtle traps out in May or June.
