Shooting Turtles

[Mitch Rapp]

This may not be "hunting" but it fit here better than anywhere else.

What if any regs would cover this? I have always put it right up there with killing coyotes, possums or other vermin, but loads more fun. Not to mention that it is pretty much how I leanered to shoot.

I believe it's legal to shoot softshell turtles, but the red ear sliders are protected? The hunting/fishing regs list it under reptiles to be certain.

You can't shoot turtles on COE or WMA land/water.
There is one specie of snappers that is protected. Other than that, give em hell!

Turtles is why 62gr HP Silver Bears, lasers, and high cap mags were created.
and to teach grandkids to shoot. Got them a Cricket with an under barrel, clamp mounted laser, .22LR. Switch is just behind trigger guard. Line up sights, depress laser switch to check sight alignment (and I can see, too) , squeeze trigger.

Gotta agree with the zombies. Good news = We go out to the pond and shoot 60 one day and Bad news = there are 60 swimming around the next day. Good news = MORE TARGETS. Bad news = more ammo. Good news = more fun Bad news = more ammo Good news = grandkids LOVE it. Bad news = Grandkids LOVE IT.

Pshhh, my 22mag and .303 both make them drt and I have morbid pics to prove it. My wife tore some up with her AR, and they are good practice for me an the 1911 too. In short, you just gotta use enough gun.

Plus, if done right, with an M1 Garand you can make them fly!
