[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 109030, member: 2979"] Back in the mid 60's I worked at the local lumberyard which was right next to a grain elevator. An old ford pickup with side boards up about 4' and big wire mesh across the top was setting there waiting to use the scale. The dam thing was full of big and I mean big snapping turtles. The guy had a permit to trap a certain amount of turtles by weight from the Wild Rice River and local creeks. I am sure he had at least a couple that went 70 to 100# because their heads barely fit through 6" wire mesh. He told me he took them to the Twin cites to sell. His pickup looked like it would not make it 50 miles, no overhead I guess. [/QUOTE]
