........snapping turtles are 
...decent sized snapper walking across our road, stopped, threw him in the back of the pickup and put his dumb ass back in the creek lest he get Michelin'd. Shoulda taken his picture. Probably 25 pounds or so.
Now, having done my good deed for the day, I can gt back to using kittens for skeet with a clear conscience.
When we lived in Frederick, I would take Ijamsville Rd. when heading south. Old farm pond on the east side of the road had a resident snapper. BIG resident snapper. Shell woulda made a big bowl. Watched him for 4 years till one day he was a road smear....decent sized snapper walking across our road, stopped, threw him in the back of the pickup and put his dumb ass back in the creek lest he get Michelin'd.

I know you're gonna teach me something I honestly didn't know.

I was working. Turtles are known to come back to the same area so either you take it FAR away or don't take it too far or it will try to come back to where it was and sometimes with not-so-good results.
This was the big girl Abbey found last summer. Ott moved her to the other side of the fence but he had to catch her, take her for a little car ride and then let her go. No way to get her to the other side of the fence.
Pffttt..that's nothing.
Did you know that there is no a single spot where you can hold them that they cannot reach to bite you?
I know who told you to say that.
