Snapping turtle removal

See, that is not a happy little animal!

 

Turtles are assholes

 

@Puppypunter - do you happen to have access to a pet carrier/crate? You may be able to entice the lil' guy/gal into one of those.

 

FIFY

 

Get some 40 pound braided fishing line, put a circle hook with chicken on the end and reel the son of bitch up.

 

Ain't no way I'd pick that fucker up

 

I stand by my statement

 

Yeah, the jumping is probably what freaked me out the worst. I was not expecting that. I thought it was just backing up, not going into a pouncing stance.

 

Snapping turtles are considered abundant and have no conservation status. If one is a problem/threat to dogs on the property I would just end the threat right there, same as I would a wild hog.

 

I do! But I need to get it out of the window well first. But that is a great suggestion. I even have a “large” one we use for transporting 3 pups at once. So like for a medium sized dog

 

Turtle will go like "F U, I don't want to go to jail! Leave me alone or I snap your balls off!"

 

Same way I got all these pomeranians!

 

Luckily this one isn’t really a threat to anything but my manhood

 

Braid line isn't worth it.... Caught big catfish with it and broke the line... WTF!

I prefer glow in dark line which can be glow if you have light shine on it for night fishing.

 

We need Pictures to better assist with "viable" solutions to your dilemma.

 

I’ll get some when I get home from work

 

I typically use a 6lb braided line on super light action rods and tiny reels.... caught fish well over 10lbs. My brother has used 30lb braided and has caught a ton of geese (not on purpose, their just stupid).

 

If it truly is a snapping turtle just piss it off and lower a rope and he will bite it and not let go for some time, raise him out and drop him in whatever.

 

Thx for this thread , got a good laff on a Monday morning.
