ANOTHER WAY TO LOOK FOR TURTLES

in #howto7 years ago

Trust me, @papa-pepper knows a lot of ways to try to find turtles... a lot!


Though this may not be for everyone, trying to find Snapping Turtles by feeling around in the mud with your bare feet is actually an incredibly effective method. Ever since I was young I have been using this method at certain spots where Snapping Turtles have been known to hide.

Somehow, I have even managed to keep all of my toes.

THE JOY OF THE SEARCH

While up in Wisconsin, I took advantage of the opportunity to go look for some Snapping Turtles in one of my favorite spots. I spent about a half hour walking around in the mud barefoot talking to the camera, but in the end I never did end up stepping on a Snapping. Hopefully next time I will succeed.

However, I did manage to capture three Western Painted Turtles and found some other things too. If you feel like watching me wandering in the swamp and talk about turtles for a half hour, these videos may just be for you!

that sounds dangeous as hell! you couldnt pay me to do that. Brave man lol. Where are you in Wisconsin btw? Is that where you make all your vids?

I was up in Door County for a week, and then Wisconsin Rapids for a few days. Now we are back home in Arkansas.

Ok cool man. Looks like you had a good and successful trip. Thats a bit of a haul from Wisconsin to Arkansas. Look forward to more posts in the future.

I have walked barefoot in the water at the beach feeling for and finding clams but cannot say I have ever used that method for finding snapping turtles and not sure that I would LOL

That Turtle in the first shot is huge

It is not that much different... okay, maybe a little bit.

Well if there was such a think as snapping clams it may be the same LOL

Cute!😍

I think so too!

@Papa-pepper - the SBD is perfectly fine!
