What's the stick in the second pic, it looks like it's impaled... did you kill it? :(

hahahaa

that would make a great owned picture =)

what the fuck! that is pretty cool...you got some wildlife around there

whoa!!

The place is an 80 acre spread in Mississippi.

Thats a huuuuuuuge bitch

What did you name it? Nipper?

turtle?

Whoa, nice snapper you have there. :thumbsup

Looks like a snapper turtle, anyone agree?

I believe it's called an 'aligator snapping turtle'

City boy. :1orglaugh

and i thought the lizards in our backyard in AZ were scary! LOL

You got me. Lived in Miami, Fl from age 1 to 19 moved to Tampa after Hurricane Andrew. I did camp out in the everglades for 2 weeks:glugglug

yep that's an aligator turtle, DAM GOOD EATIN!

Thats some damn good camouflage, I had to look a couple of times to check I'd noticed the right thing.

We dont get any interesting wildlife like that here in the UK though, which is a shame...

Nobody hurt her. That is a garden tool being held behind her, to keep the pets away (and safe)

The lizards are the best thing about the southern states!
Cat toys :1orglaugh

fuck i hate all this stuff i's so scary :(

shit, I've never seen one of those in my life

hehe thats cool :thumbsup

kinda scary :thumbsup

I caught a couple of them fuckers when I used to go flathead catfish fishing.. They are mean sons of bitches! They will take a finger or 2 off if you aren't careful :ak47:

Wow that's fucked up.
I think I'd shit my pants if I walked up to that in my back yard. :helpme

They dont react unless threatened. But you'll lose your arm, not just a finger or two

They sure aren't happy when they have a hook in their mouth and are being realed in :1orglaugh

I remember one, it wasnt quite as big as that one, maybe a little over half the size.. but once we got it up on the bank it went after everything that moved. I said fuck you buddy, cut the line and got my ass away from it. It took off back into the lake.. Crazy fucking things.

What part of Mississippi?

I graduated from Southern.

We've got a place on the outskirts of Brandon, (15 minutes from Jackson airport)

Thats a big fucking turtle. :)

Odd thing to find if you live in Montreal?

lol- I live in Montreal, but we have a place down south.

bump for the night shift

grew up with those down south.

good soup.

my grandfather used to throw me out of the boat to grab those fucking things with a gaf hook.

:thumbsup

I was born and raised in Florida and I've never seen one that big! What did you do with her?

OMFG... That thing looks vicious :helpme

holy fuck. thats as big as the one i caught last summer. we were at this weird pond like thing, and something kept eating our bait and pulling the hooks off our rods. well a beast bout that size finally popped his head up and we all shit our pants.

so, we caught a few sonnies real quick, then (for some odd reason our friend had a shark hook) took a shark hook out of someones box, sliced a sonnie in half, yanked him on there...then baited the beast to the surface, and just as he went to bite, my freind grabbed the fucker by the tail.

we had to have someone go home and get a huge duffle bag, cause we took it home to show people real quick, then put it back.

that fucker's nails ripped holes right in the bag, like a warm knife dipping through butter. wish we had a pic...

how old do you reckon it is?

OMG this is huge!

Is that some kind of turtle? I never seen any turtle with spikes on their shells.

cool pic, where do u live

I can't see the pic! :(

Scary indeed:1orglaugh

Awesome!

Do you live in Jurassic Park?

I want one of those as a pet. :thumbsup

Thats fuckin crazy
id have nightmares if i lived where those things are
