When I was a teenager a few of us thought it would be fun to float down the Rum River with .22 pistols and shoot at the big snapping turtles that were sunning themselves on the banks.
One time somebody on shore started shooting back. We couldn't seem them so we just got small in the flat bottom jon boat. Then we laid down some suppressing fire. That ended it.
I don't remember if we ever went back.
