I see smooth soft shell turtles a lot. Seen a a blandings last summer. Never seen the wood turtles or the map turtles or a spiny soft shell. Smooth soft shells turtles are hell catfish rigs. Seems like circle hooks do a better job not hooking them at least.

Remember turkey hunting in se one year...dad's buddy had a spring fed pond with a dam he wanted to dig out. Busted out the dam and left the soupiest waist deep silt you ever seen.

This good ol boy driving by saw what was going on and he asked if he could wade out into the mud to feel for snapper with his feet...and he did... crazy bastard

I’m no expert on snapper habits. Just lots of experiences messin with em. Based on my encounters If it’s head is out of water or partially submerged you are in danger of getting chomped. If under water you’re safe. I’ve stepped on a bunch of em and in front of their snout under water. I’ve picked em up out of water and never had issues. That crazy bastard fishing around with his toes for snappers may have known what he was doing.

I’d see a big one on the road as a kid and head down with my buddies and see how big of a stick they could snap by putting it in front of their snout. Grew up on a lake and had a pond out back with a long gravel road in between. Lots of turtles hatched off our road. Good times.

Can't "take" Snappers, but sure as hell can run them over when you 1 crossing!
It's just like hitting a pothole in the road, except reverse.
Those with the newer skinny tires may want to avoid them....

People that intentionally run over turtles are commie pieces of chit. Straight up leftist nerds.

What’s wrong Al? Snapper get your wood ducks?

Running over a turtle is definitely a douche move. I hope an animal rights nut sees you do it and whoops your ass. :lol:

Must be a southern thing. Never seen or even heard of someone seeing one up north.
