Saying Hi

Good luck with TMC.

What did that turtle weigh and are you allowed to keep them in AR? We can only keep common snapping turtles here in Tn.

Thanks B Y! It was a pretty nice one lol…weighed in just over 92 pounds. We are only allowed to keep common snappers here as well, the alligator snappers are protected here too. We catch them every now and then in our nets as our primary responsibility is removing invasive carp from the waters. All other wildlife are documented and returned to the waters. That guy was sent off on his way after the photo lol.

Thanks Richard! I will definitely have a lot of questions especially when I get to my trainer part lol. Not having any flatbed experience I will have tons of questions for sure. Retiring from the fire department I had the last 13 years of driving but since we drove emergency vehicles we were dot exempt so I have tons of learning to do!! BK I work part time right now until I leave with our game and fish on a biology boat fishing all day lol. That is an alligator snapping turtle we caught a few weeks ago…I love those guys…they are kinda like living dinosaurs to me lol.
