LOL - yeah, does need an explanation perhaps! “Fishing” for them - Oklahomah. Set out traplines (big hook with some catfish meat on them) and then come back and check them. Not sure why not kill them right away, except perhaps to keep them fresh. Deep fry them along with the catfish - good stuff.
Hmmm... Will have to try it sometime. Thank you! Fried turtle does sound good.
LOL! And yes, I was going to ask about the badger, too!

I’ve picked up from similar convos between FReepers that it has to do with feeding the turtles in captivity a while to adjust for taste/texture, like corn-feeding cattle for a few weeks before slaughter.
Dunno if it’s true. Never tried it.
