I see lots of regs about commercial possession of turtles, but other than that not much. I know alligator snappers are protected. One of my favorite things I did at the first archery camp I went to as a kid was catch turtles for turtle soup to go along with squirrel, but this was in Ohio. Does it have to be caught on private land? I keep seeing the nongame permit mentioned, but that sounds more like a commercial license.
