The BBs for dang sure wouldn't do any damage unless you put the barrel right on the eye and were able to shoot before it took your hand off. I don't recall if it had it's eyes closed or not; I was too busy lifting with one hand and shooting with the other. I'll bet that turtle weighed at least 30 lbs. His head was bigger than my fist. BTW, that was a CO2 pistol with a fresh cartridge. So, did you take that turtle home to eat, Newt? Ken [ 22. May 2004, 11:11 AM: Message edited by: severus ]

What is a tinkers damn, anyhow?

Nice photo, Newt. I've had a few run-ins with Mr. Snapper myself, and learned not to leave fish in the water on a stringer. They're incredibly brutal. I was fishing in a boat once and a large snapper helped himself to my stringer of fish, so I lifted the metal stringer and pumped several BB's from an air pistol at point blank range into it's head in a vain attempt to make him let go - he didn't. Once they bite they don't let go. Last fall I caught a lamprey that was attached to an 8 lb steelhead. It wouldn't let go of the poor fish until we netted it, then it slithered around the deck like a snake. Viscious sets of razor-sharp teeth in its round mouth. It was a pleasure to sever the dirty bastage in two. Ken

LOL!!! Now we all know the true story.

I took it as a joke. BTW - what has six legs, sprints incredibly fast, and screams "Hoe-de-doe, hoe-de-doe!"??

Just stand closer - it's shorter than you think.

Most limericks are not suitable for this forum, so you can forget about anything containing the word "Nantucket". Still, some are OK.

Reminds me of the Great White Female post, except nothing happens when I move the browser over the photo. Pity.

Wow, good one. Last year I read about some drunk up in my neck of the woods who filled his waste tank with fuel by mistake. Not sure how he emptied it, but at least he didn't kill anyone, including himself.

Nice recovery, Peter! Is that a steam calliope or just a steam-powered vehicle? Looks like a parade.
