A Lesson On Stalking
The Snapping Turtle
By CLINT DONOVAN
When hunting season is over and you want to add a little variety to your menu, why don’t you try stalking the snapping turtle?
The snapper is a cold blooded reptile who spends the winter hibernating in the muddy shallows of ponds, streams and lakes. When spring comes, they start to roam, looking for food to curb a voracious appetite.
To Catch The Turtle
I caught my first turtle when I was 12 years old. It was in the 1930s and the Great Depression lay over the land. I was carrying the sack to put the turtles in and my oldest brother, Gilbert, was “snoodling” the turtle.
To “snoodle” a turtle, you wade into a stream or pond where the water is about waist deep and reach your hand under the roots of trees or under the bank until you feel a turtle. Run your hands over his shell until you feel his tail and, taking a firm grip on it, pull him out.
