30+ yrs ago I was volunteer fireman.
We had a guy in the Dept that knew how to clean and cook them. Really dark and hearty soup.
Loved it.

This one was about 2 feet across. Caught it while bullhead fishing.
Happily, he spit the hook. Too gnarly for me to consider eating.

I'm going to build a trap soon to remove a very large one from one of my ponds. If anybody wants one in my area it's yours. It's illegal here to relocate them, as to the nearby river allegedly because they can spread disease. I don't buy it as the turtle would be from the same watershed and they move around a lot, and they can't be too diseased if the live as long as they do.

Im a big reptile guy I have never heard of a turtle spreading anything except salmonella to himans who keep them in dirty tanks as for relocating them I don't think you can legally relocate any animal and there are rules for taking snappers for food not sure if you can still take diamond back terrapins as for nasty they actually make good pets when raised from babies and are very cool looking when not covered in moss

ate a lot of turtles when I was a kid .... they say there is 7 flavors of meat in a turtle ,my personal opinion isn't exactly that but they weren't bad the soup was good and fried wasn't bad either

They must travel long ways. Had a snapper crossing in my road the other day and there isn't any water within a half mile from there.

We used to hook and line them years ago to make soup. My brother paid his rent in college selling them to restaurants a few decades ago. We were in Arizona a few years ago and came on a terrapin in the road. We stopped to move him out and saw he had been hit in the past. Someone had repaired his shell with what looked like JBWeld and obviously he survived.
