Hmm. Maybe I'm doing something wrong and just not realizing it. Well, I'll keep trying. I am most aptly to use the entrails for bait than to eat them myself. How would you clean a snapping turtle? I'm always running into them up here and am quite proficcent at there elimination. There is no season on them and they have few predators, once at a fair size. Also do you have any suggestions for bow and drill, or just drill fires? I have tried everything and goten it fairly warm, but to no avail.
