Looks like a snapping turtle to me, is loggerhead another name for the snapping turtle?

I have always referred these particular turtles as loggerhead but some do call them snapping turtles as well....

Loggerheads are sea turtles >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Sea_Turtle
Snapping turtles are freshwater >> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...ing_turtle
Starting to sound like D, aren't I ...

That loggerhead must have been running around a fair bit to corner your bassett hound

You know I hear when you catch these your supposed to let them soak in a tub of clean water for a couple of days to get the taste to clean up.
Still haven't caught one though, but everytime I go to a place to fish where I can legally catch them and they are there believe me I try to get them.

snapping turtle is pretty good eatin, not so easy to clean. A buddy of mine back in PA used to catch hundreds of them and sell them to fancy restaurants in NYC. Float an airtight bottle in a pond with a large hook hanging down a few feet with chicken liver or beef spleen on it. Works pretty well. Snapping turtles are very hard on geese and ducks.

Deer Sniper,
There is nothing wrong with getting yourself a turtle, unless I'm missing something ??
