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.
