We also have gophers in Florida and guess what If you buy a piece of property to build a house you have to relocate the Gophers. There is people that have a business of catching these critters and moving them for a small fee. They should call the Gopher Cowboys I guess.

After 2 weeks of being gone,,things sure look good around here...so green and still water standing..although I have noticed the crop of mosquitos is a healthy crop! Glad to see things look good up your way too...

Soapweed you should go through your numerous photos and submit a windmill photo in the contest at windmill days next weekend. You've got to have one or two that are as beautiful as the flag one only staring a windmill.

I don't think they eat turtles in Nebraska. I think they are the state reptile or something. :wink:

Fixed right....they're good!

Supposed to have 7 different types of meat in them, ie. some that tastes like chicken....some pork....some beef, etc.


I guess it's just a Southern ' thang'!!! :lol: :lol:

Are you saying that since some parts of the turtle taste like beef, I actually could be buying turtle when I go to the meat case, even though I ask for rib eye? :???:

That's the story I've always been told.

I think the reason behind it is that turtle meat on diff parts of the turtle tends to be a bit darker...other parts a bit lighter. You can see the diff. colors of the meat when you clean a turtle!

I've had turtle soup/stew/gumbo all my life....and from being just plain ol' good ( if fixed right)...it doesn't taste like anything else ' cept turtle!

I thought everything tasted like chicken if somebody didn't know how to describe it.
