Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Blanding's turtle sighted

It was an interesting day. Morels showed up, the dogs treed a sick raccoon, and ran into this guy at the edge of the cornfield this afternoon. I haven't seen one for a couple of years.

They can live to be 80-90, and keep kicking out youngins all those years after age 20 or so. Shell shape, and yellow underside of the neck and chin are the giveaways. I thought it was kinda cool.
