Abstract:

Snapping turtles have been around for a million years. They are the largest of the state's turtle residents and can reach sixty-eight pounds in the wild. Snappers live in ponds, reservoirs, creeks, and rivers, and they are especially fond of meat. Shankle describes how to catch and prepare them for turtle stew.
