LOL, no, My hubby wants to know if anyone wants it. When we lived in Ohio our landlord and his son would trap them and eat them, seemed like a lot of work to me.

It is a lot of work,if you don't have the right tools.A good heavy duty sharp cleaver makes it easier.

I'm sorry when we can catch them alive we rehome them, our pond is too small and they eat all the fish

My grandfather used to own C&M foodmarket on the marietta square.His son would run turtle traps.I remember being just a little feller watching an old black man named Author cut up hundreds of turtles with just a cleaver and sharp knife in the back room.

Sounds like he was an expert.

Turtle is still available.

Because we did not capture it alive.
And this is a snapping turtle, which we
would not release in a public park.

[Beau Weneroux]

so whatever happened to the turtle

my poopaw use to make soup out of them... he hasn't done that in about 20 years

I always though it was gross and never tried it
