How's he gonna post when he has no fingers? Shoot first.. ask questions later.

We used to swim in a crik (yeah that's how we say it back home..stfu) and there was an alligator snapper in the water.. kept the snakes away.. and we'd give him a WIDE berth.. from the business end to the tip of his tail he had to be a good 2'6".. his neck was as thick as my thigh. We always had a 30-30 in the truck should he become nosey..

And turtle is good eatin.. not sure about pulling it out of the South Platte though.. might have some liberal run off in it
