nice catch eric. are you using your wire traps again and what is the bait your using? is there no way you can haul them in a tank of water? snappers out of water get quite rough on one another in that small space.

the common snapper like the alligator snapper has two parts to its shell. the carapace on the back and the plastron on the underside. on average an 10 year old snapping turtle turtle has a a shell length of 7 inches in length. a 25 year old snapping turtle about 11 or 12 inches. in captivity they can grow larger. the largest common snapper ever recorded was 68 pounds. big turtles can hurt you if you re not careful ! I cought a 68.75 Pound Snapping turtle. I think John Rodgers cought one 84 pounds

yes Sabrehawk ( a t man member) from iowa sent me a pm. he states hes buying turtles and those are his prices. i still have the pm which was just the other day. i assume those prices still stand. still one would need a refer van/truck to haul that distance. bagged turtles would be stressed and likely overheat without it.

hello everyone Name is James From Ohio great lake Erie area
not real real new to trapping but yet i am. found the site and have picked up some ideas that i did not apply before.
thanks to all for that
now so is anyone from or around the same area i am ?
ive pulled all hook and line traps and plan to set two for now one hoop and net store bought and one cage trap home made
picture of traps and material used would be greatly helpful, at 70$ for a hoop net i want to try and cut cost much as possible like im sure we all do
lastly want more clarity on ohio' laws on where i can set traps
live , love , hunt and fish , and get them guns out to the range !!!
