I just learned they weren't good to have around yesterday.

It was fun watching them playing in the pond before we found out that wasn't a good thing!

Besides...it would take way too many to make a decent meal.LOL

Not to mention the little fish, the little toads that are everywhere right now. Last night in the garden I saw some toads that were about as big as a pennyl...thought it was a bug at first. Must have been 30 just around the green beans.

you ate a snapping turtle? Did I miss that thread somehow? How was it - was it fishy or cheap chicken-like?

PS - thank you for saving the hummingbird. :)

Yep, we did eat a Snapper that was threatening to my chickens. It was on a Guess What We Had for Dinner topic. The turtle dinner wasn't anything I would want to have again. Kind of like chicken, but way too chewy!

OK then! No turtle dinners for us! But I sure love seeing the hummers, blue jays and cardinals. Anyone want to go hunting in the pond? heehee!
