Nice!  you Just peaked my interest in Snappers.  Did you just see them on the surface? also do you have to shoot them in the head?

Our season opens for snapping turtles on July 15.

Nice    

Turtle soup baby  

they were under water. and by pure luck i made a neck shot. this is the first one ive killed with a bowfishing setup. i have a shell hanging on the wall from a 18# one i shot last summer with my gamemaster and a magnus II head. he was on the surface though. if you dont head or neck shoot them then you are gonna have to finish them off, no doubt. they are tough critters.

im working on skinning this one after church this evening....got a cool idea for the shell.

Dude that is impressive!!! Good job and way to show that HOYT off!!!

How about some turtle soup? Great stuff. Make it snappy.  

thanks for the comments guys
