Default What do y'all think?

This picture has popped up on Facebook. Supposedly he is from Cottonwood, Louisiana. There are a lot of people with very negative opinions toward this young man and his trophy. Just wanted to see what all you guys had to say on the subject.

You can make a stew with that but I like to mix that with some grind beef and make a surf&turf chili. Turtles like to eat baby fish and will ruin a pond full of bass and bream. This dude is a hero and has saved the lives of countless fish.

This is SaltyCajun. If you can't find support for legal turtle harvest here, where can you?

God bless him! I saw your posts on FB and thought you put it well over there.

Personally I couldn't kill it. Thing has been around over a century and I just find something like that majestic. But overall as long as he's eating it and enjoying then rock on. And from the looks of the pic he can already taste it in the pot.

I personally wouldnt kill it and I grew up catching lots like that on the Red, Oua****a and Mississippi rivers not to mention the small sloughs and creeks....we ate our share, but the really large ones we always let go unless they were not gonna make it...

We definitely "relocated" many of them lol

But as long as he is within the law and gna eat it...go for it!!

More importantly.....how da hell he catch dat?!?!?!

I would have let it go, but they don't live forever. I tend to agree with others.....if they eat it, no harm, no foul.

Great catch.........if harvested within the law he has every right.......

I would not kill that particular one, but I have eaten my share of the smaller ones for sure.

Posting that pic on facebook was poor judgement in my opinion.

posting here, a sight specifically designed for that type of photo is perfect.

these young folks need to understand, you have freedom of speech and others have the freedom to critisize......

hope he inviites us all to eat!

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups. Facebook is an easy way for stupid people to unite and share their stupidity.

If the meat isn't going to waste then who cares. Its kina a shame to kill something that made it so long but it wasn't gonna live forever...
