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.

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.
