Turtle Hunter
Bowfishing is another passion of mine. So, I'm standing on the bank of this small creek waiting for carp to surface when a large snapping turtle rears his ugly head. Hmmmm.....why not? I take the shot.....HIT !!! now what?
I've got a really ticked off snapper that probably weighs 25 pounds on the end of my line, and he is biting the crap out of my fishing arrow. Only got about 7" of penetration at the base of his neck. Does anyone out there know how to kill a mad snapping turtle? Let me warn you, It's difficult to say the least. I drug him out on the bank and we had quite a battle, until I was able to grab my arrow and turn it enough to release the sting-a-ree point. He crawled back into the creek never to be seen again. Glad that was over, won't do that again!
