Turtle Trap
Tie three logs together like a triangle. Put an old fish net in the center. Tie a rope to the trap and secure it to the bank. Set the trap in water.

Now go somewhere else and fish. The turtles will crawl on the logs to sun. When you go back to the trap the turtle will slide into the water. You have a 50/50 chance they will slide off the side with the net. Pull the trap to the bank and cut off their heads.

We used to catch snappers by accident when illegally setting lines for catfish. Take a piece of fishing line, tie one end to a tree, put a hook on the other end, put some old rotten meat on the hook and throw it in the river. Never fails. Since these were ill gotten gains, we'd cut their heads off, wait til dark and leave them on the Game Warden's door step. I'm assuming he was grateful because they were always gone the next day.

Turtle soup? Never ate it.

My buddy has a "redneck blender", with a chainsaw motor!
He built it from scratch!
WHY? I have no F-ing idea!
