No shit. Found this while out swamping  this morning:



He's about the size of a basketball, somehow looped a vine around his neck. That's bones behind/under him. Needless to say I didn't go screwing around there. Too weird for me.

I knew a guy that made a penguin commit suicide by jumping off of a 5th story balcony of a hotel.



Changed the course of animal nature.

How many strangled dead turtles have you found? Might have choked a few chickens but never strangled a turtle.

Somebody was telling me they found a big buck like that one time.  It got his antlers tangled in some roots while trying to climb up a river bank.  It had thrashed around so much trying to free itself that it broke its own neck.

We had a one who got caught in a dogwire fence.  His shell was the perfect size to get wedged in the little square and get stuck.

First of all you have to have a swamp. And its got to have enough water in it to decently float a kayak/canoe. Then you have to want to go in the swamp knowing that you most likely will find snakes, alligators, beaver, raccoons, coyotes, ticks, chiggers, and definitely lots of mosquitoes. Attire in summer is barefoot, shorts, t shirt, ball hat, bug spray, and some kind of gun. You can get into some really isolated areas though. I go a couple of times a week.

I've ran across turtles like that in the backwaters along the Cedar river. If I can get to them, I always cut and retrieve the line so other animals do not fall prey to it. Same when I find fishing line floating around.

So basically what we down in FL call kayaking or canoeing? . Awesome you can get out on the water as much as you do. You sir are lucky.... Even if you stumbled upon an ancient voodoo curse.

This wasn't a line - was the red vines hanging down.

But this is in a swamp. I kayak/canoe in the river.

Well. This is certainly disappointing. Mother Nature killing her own?

We should demand she be arrested and tried for Turtles murder.

She's gotten away with this kind of thing far to long, and let me be clear, this administration will tolerate it no more.

Have Mr. Holder file the charges.
