Hmmm, after beating it it flat? We put up 14qt.s of turtle stew last year, and I've got my eye on another couple volunteers harrassing the grass carp in the pond at present (wish the rain would let up!). Oh, we only have the thirty pound Alligator Snappers up this way (not the Big Commons). That being said, no one around here skinny dips.

You guys wouldn't eat my pet Desert Tortoise "Zoop" would you?
Used to find those guys out in the Anza Borrego desert, when I was a kid (early `60's). We found two with graffitti carved into their shells (one had a date of 1937). No, not enough meat, and I'm not sure about the flavor because of their lettuce habit...

no such thing as off topic on this thread.
the coon has been coming up and stealing dog food and everything else, ran it off several times and it just sneaks back and they go at it again. the river is almost a stone throw away and I've walked down there often, it's been treed on several occasions and spent the evening and night in a tree again that was the last time if it had got down and left there's plenty to eat in the woods or down at the river it just preferred easy pickings, caged, free ranged or in a bowl.
no I wouldn't eat the turtle although people do and frog legs are fair game. in some countries dogs and cats are also fair game. I hear horse is good eating also along with goat lamb, cheese burgers and hot dogs.
