re: Is this the kind of turtle some of yall eat?

When I was a kid on the 40 arpent in da Parish, we used to set out crab traps (with a couple inches above water) to catch turtles. If we put melts or fish or most other baits, we mostly caught sliders with the occasional softshell. But if we used chicken necks for bait, we'd catch 5 or 6 softshells at a time. Don't know why, but it wasn't coincidence - they liked those chicken necks.
