Thinking if I get a big one after the first of July that this looks like a fun project to try. Just checking to see if any of you have tried it before.

Yeah sure will give you that. Thinking about it that's probably why it's form seems so familiar to me. Between the Heritage Center the airport and the NDGS I see Trikes all the the time and it's form must have become imprinted on my mind.

I do find myself torn on this since a turtle big enough to look good at this is likely going to be much older then I am and I find myself reluctant to kill something for such a minor keepsake especially when it has made it so far in such a harsh place for cold blooded animals. Hell I must be getting old because they were my arch enemy when I was young and now I look at the more as ...for lack of a better term equals. Still don't like being near them but I'm sure that goes both ways.

the UND Snappers would have been a more fierce opponent... a little slow but no one wants to get close... far more fierce than the MSU Beaver
