#3: Re: Loggerhead meets Ruger!!! Author: Deer Sniper, Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 9:26 pm ---- I have always referred these particular turtles as loggerhead but some do call them snapping turtles as well....

Author: SingleShotLover, Location: IllinoisPosted: Fri Apr 25, 2008 4:54 am ---- Might want to make sure to use the term "snapping turtle"....as far as I know Federal law protects loggerheads. Sure hate for you to do time on a bum rap!!! The PETA idiots are liable to try to make the case of "well, he called it a loggerhead."

Still haven't caught one though, but everytime I go to a place to fish where I can legally catch them and they are there believe me I try to get them.

A buddy of mine back in PA used to catch hundreds of them and sell them to fancy restaurants in NYC. Float an airtight bottle in a pond with a large hook hanging down a few feet with chicken liver or beef spleen on it. Works pretty well. Snapping turtles are very hard on geese and ducks.

'course, we were hookin' the 'gills just under the dorsal fin tryin' to catch Northerns with 'em, with about an once of lead to keep 'em from leavin the scene......

There is nothing wrong with getting yourself a turtle, unless I'm missing something ??

Now, I am wondering if someone can tell me why I am seeing the front end of my barrel through my scope. Gun is zeroed in but this is a whale of a distraction!!!
