• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

interesting sport, but i would never try it

Reminds me of the backyard bungee slingshot!!

Seen this fun before...?


Eat lunch after ride...

That looks like a pretty effective way to raise the collective intelligence of the herd... :thumbup:

Snapping Turtles? :shocked:
Leave the BIG ones,very much alone! nojoke
Growing up; my Dad was a part owner of a lake that had a recreational area with a Beach. :D It was a great place to spend the summers. i'd take a rowboat, and cruise the perimeter of the lake; catching turtles, all day long...
But we had some real battleship-sized monsters in there too! :yikes: I saw one take a duck under once. Another time; I saw a big one floating up on top, with it's head and legs extended. I thought that this old Bruiser had died...
I grabbed it by the tail to pull it out of the water, and this HEAD!!! that was about as big as mine; came fliipping up over it's back...

It almost caught a twelve year-old turkey!
 
Why you should never kiss a snapping turtle

This Is Why You Should Never, Ever Try to Kiss a Snapping Turtle
By Sumitra on March 17th, 2014
Here’s a way to save thousands on Botox treatments and still achieve a perfectly natural swollen pout – just kiss a snapping turtle! A man from China’s Fujian Province tried it recently; I don’t know what he was thinking kissing a turtle that is known to have a vicious bite that can actually break a human finger. This guy locked lips with his pet and what happened next was pretty much expected – it latched on and refused to let go.


Pictures of the not-so-sweet kiss were doing the rounds of China’s social networking website, Weibo. Apparently, the man’s friends clicked pictures and found them too hilarious not to share with the world. They even updated ‘after’ shots of the injuries – the man is seen nursing a huge lip that can put the most bizarre plastic surgeries to shame. Ouch, that must have hurt real bad!


According to news reports, the ‘Alligator snapping turtle’ was a pet about to be released. It was not native to China, hence damaging to its ecosystem. These exotic pets require expert handling, which is obviously not this man’s forte. Just before letting the turtle go, he decided on the impromptu peck. As you can see, it wasn’t the brightest idea. I just think he’s incredibly lucky that the amphibian did not decide to keep a piece of his lip as a parting souvenir!

That had to hurt... For a while!

The Alligator snapping turtles, are the "Bad-Boyz", of the snapping turtle World...
I raised a few during my formative years; along with some regular ones that I captured.
No comparison! :yikes:
Less shell of more mobility, and much bigger jaw muscles!
When a small snapper (3" across the shell or less...), grabs your finger; it's an annoyance, and you can easily make them let go.
When the Gaotr grabs you; they get your undivided attention! :yikes:
