No, you explained why it wasn't a direct comparison.

esp in a certain limited number of features or details
Limited details: animals, respect.
If all the details you mentioned were the same, there would be no need for an analogy, because I would just be restating the same situation (or making a direct comparison).

After the last couple seasons and lack of ducks in our area, I may need to change my handle to the whiskey drinker. Seems to be much more of that these days than mallard killin. Not by choice but you do have to do something with your free time

Impressive creature and glad the guy thought twice about having it for dinner. I side with the posters suggesting that a certain amount of respect for long-lived creatures is a core value of true sportsmen. When I worked for LDWF many moons ago, a guy brought in an alligator snapping tutle that tipped the scales at 125 pounds. He would not consider releasing the giant into protected land, even after I found a donor willing to pay him for it...he had big plns for a family feast. Kill something that was probably over 100 years old to feed folks for a few days.

I'm pretty sure that a 100 year old snapping turtle is still viable (reproductively) and could potentially reproduce for 100 more years. This kindof throws your 'big buck theory' out of the window since a 6-8 year old deer is going to have the same reproductive capacity as a 2 year old because it is going to get beaten out by younger, stronger animals.
I'm not a naturalist, but I'd have a tough time killing something that was around at the turn of the century or on D-day.

I feel the same way when I see the gator hunters popping a 13 footer. Something that has endured for 75 years gets killed for a $200 paycheck.
i would have a hard time killing the turtle, but i have no warm & fuzzy feelings for gators. you wade into a WMA in the dark to go duck hunting and tell me you'd be happy to see a bunch of 13ft gators swimming around. frick that. it's nerve wracking seeing a small one when you're trying to wade in in the dark.

Also, someone mentioned otters going for $50? ive got some of them too unfortunatley, what do you do with em?

I get what yall are saying, but the man is 100% outdoors man and 100% did the right thing, not because he let it go and not because he didn't kill it. He did the only right thing by not killing it since he wasnt sure what to do with it. It was correct to either let it go or kill and eat but not to kill it and not use the meat for it's purpose. Since when did outdoorsmen stop supporting killing and eating in a non excessive, non wasteful manner? There are way to many people out there killing and wasting great food for you all to campaign against for us to knit pick whether it's right on not to take one turtle. Alx is right, it's not about the age.

This whole thread is dumb
If you don't want to kill/eat the turtle than don't. Just give it to me and I'll release it for you.

Agreed. I have no problem with someone killing a big turtle to eat. There is no concrete way to know how old those turtles actually are, unless it was a mark/recapture or grown in captivity. The few studies that have been done on alligator snapping turtles show most grow to 30-35lbs in the first 8 years of life. Once they reach this age the growth rates vary from very slow to very rapid, based on a number of factors that are impossible to calculate for wild-caught turtles. You can generalize and say a 75lb turtle is older than a 25lb turtle, but to walk around saying all big turtles like that are 100yrs old is an ignorant thing to do. There are a lot more big turtles like that in the southeastern US than people believe.
