I see their were no 2017 pictures on here. I only took a few pictures last year, here are the 2 I saved. Average weight in this truckload was 24.7 pounds. I lost 110 pounds in the last 2 years just to be in better shape to trap turtles. The one I am holding is a nice turtle, and while I may look like a shadow I weighed 245 in this picture, so that turtle is not as small as you might think.
Wonder how Mousie and Sweet Pea, the turtle trappin' ladies, did last year?

J.Morse, just remember this : "You are in charge of what you put in your mouth!" For years I had lots of excuses, and then someone told me this phrase and it kinda' hit home.

I'm bringing back the turtle thread lol. Throats for eric's type trap design are a little pricey, any alternatives???


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I don't think her or Sweet Pea have been on in a long time. I was going to ask them if they had any traps they wanted to sell, but they split.
