I was thinking you now have the perfect place to set DP’s…the coons and possums will be there shortly. For sure...If there's any left after the black bears and coons

I've noticed several snappers the last week.
I actually saw one this morning in a driveway on my way to work. Now that I think of it she was digging a nest.
Last year I watched one dig a nest and lay eggs at a neighbors place. It was amazing how many eggs they lay.
IF IDIOTS GREW ON TREES THIS PLACE WOULD BE AN ORCHARD !

Been seeing quite a few turtles here too. You know something just irritates the heck outta me is Jerks running them over on purpose. I always stop and move them if I can. The water turtles and box turtles just hunker down and are passive but the old snappers always try to turn and face you to strike, ain't met a friendly one yet that was happy I was helping them! Gotta time it right to snatch them up by the tail. I'd be curious if anybody knows, those snappers about the size of a basketball, how old you think they are? I was just reading that snappers can breed when they are 7 or 8 years old so if your seeing them laying eggs they must be at least that age.

You can age turtles and tortoises by counting the rings on the scales on the carapace of the shell. It's very similar to counting the growth rings on trees. Keith

Totally off topic, but does anyone know if sliders or mud turtles will eat baby ducks?
