Shot a yard intruder this evening.....
Old-Colts

.....with a Digital Camera! [:D] He Dog, you've made me see the error of my ways and I feel all reformed now! [8D]
I was walking across our yard headed for a little pond to see what wildlife might be down there this evening when I saw a head sticking up out of our lawn. I went down to investigate and found this guy. I think it is a Box Turtle. Mrs. Old-Colts got a piece of tomato (non-poisonous) and tried to feed it, but it wasn't interested. After I took some pictures we backed away about 6 feet, it came out of its shell, and ambled off at a mindboggling pace and eased into the woods.
I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now! [}:)][;)]

The "National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American reptiles and Ammphibians says two statements on page 469.
1. They (box turtles) are fond of slugs,earthworms, wild strawberries and mushrooms poisonous to man-which habit has killed many a human who has eaten their flesh.
then goes on to say
2. New York Indians are responsible for eliminating this turtle from much of the area between Ohio and New England; they ate Box Turtle meat.............
I would stay with the snapper turtle and Diamondback terripin meat and let the box turtle meat go to the New York Clinton's fundraiser dinner.
Equipped with amour.
Yeh. I used to be..but gradually lost my libido as I got older. Joe

Ya Done good Old-Colts![^]Thanks He Dog; but I had the 45 Colt handy just in case he tried to attack! [:0]

It was an icky snapping turtle and not anywhere near as cute as yours though.
And you can shoot it again, next time you see it. [:D]
