Themsnapping turtles are some nasty SOB's.

I would recommend 4 sticks of C4 Plastic Explosive........

I hate snapping turtles. One day we were driving down the road and there was a snapping turtle in the way, so my dad stops, we both get out, and I try pushing on it for the back with my foot. next thing I know the B*****d jumps up about 4 inches and does a 180!! Scared the heck out of me. Never expected a turtle to jump like that!! Oh and it also snapped at us. My dad then decided to drive around it instead.

haha, you can catch them by hand... but avoid the neck.... It will surprise you how long that neck is..... Also, although not quick movers they kind of "lunge" they have a little quick first step, kinda like Allen Iverson....

a .22 or a trap, i dont care what you'll think of me, but im not grabbing a snapping turtle by hand...

haha^^ No worries there lots of people won't..... I grew up around animals my whole life. I used to always watch Steve Irwin and such on TV and try and do what he did.I've caught lots of things by hand your not supposed to touch

The only problem with grabing them by the neck is theirclaws,it helps to where some thivk gloves. And onyl go for the neck if the tail is covered up, it helps to try and get him tobite a stickso that he extends his neck and then you can grab it.

good advice, don't try and pull the neck from the shell, let the turtle extend it's head first hah

You guys trying to get snapping turtles by the neck are asking for missing fingers!!!

rifles work super so do sticks and boots ( dont try it barefoot)
