I enjoy catching a few out of my pond,each yr. I like to eat them and show them to the little kids in the family. I'm too lazy to clean em anymore,so I give them to a buddy who does it for half the meat. As stated,be VERY CAREFUL around a snapper. They are faster than you think plus their neck can extend out quite far. Unlike a box turtle,you can't turn them over on their shell for long.They'll use their head as a fifth leg,and flip back over. To dispatch one,hit him on the tip of his nose with a pc of 2X4 dricing it back into hiss shell.
