264Magnum mentioned in a recent post that he likes to hunt turtles during the off season. I think it's fair to say that a lot of us in the west have never heard of such a thing, or am I the only one just a bit curious?
For instance, I'd like to know:
How do you hunt turtles? Spot and stalk? Or do you use decoys and calls? Or maybe tree stands? If you use decoys surely you must have a couple hours from the time you see them and the time they get in range. A true test of patience!
Can you hunt turtles on the general license or do you have to draw a tag? Limited entry for trophy turtle areas? Is there a seperate drawing for non-residents?
Any help would be appriciated.
264Magnum, if you read this, I mean no disrespect whatsoever! It just sounded funny. Different areas of the country have different "varmits" to hunt for sure.
Has anyone ever been charged by a wounded turtle? Sorry guys, I can't stop laughing!
