Is it legal to set turtle traps and leave them for days at a time?

dragon, I once found about eight traps on the Batsto river which I assumed to be for the purpose of trapping turtles. I found two dead baby red bellied sliders inside a couple of them. Do you think whoever set the traps was out to make a buck?

I see no reason to think that this site had anything to do with this. Ben, the good your site does for the pines far outweighs the bad.

:) I did enjoy it, but my grandma's golden retriever enjoyed it even more.

Ben, you make a good point, but I don't know that the bridge was specifically targeted. I also saw "nice" spray painted on a bulkhead that belonged to a friend of my family who recently passed away. The scumbag even spray painted a wooden post and secured it deep in the mud - a marker for all...

So where is it? Or is it best kept secret?

Took a paddle on the river today. Some asshole spray painted "nice" on the bridge ruins. Not very nice at all. I wonder if there is a good way to remove the graffiti. May the Mullica drown whoever did this.

Unbelievable.

Eeeexcellent..... :) I especially like the fourth picture.

Goddamn

Hang 'em by the balls.

Does never-wet look like that in its maturity?

Nice Scott. Is that a bog on Deep Run or Skit Branch?

Isn't that young pickerel weed? Or is it yellow pond lily? Bob? Anyone?

KCB, I have no clue abotu the square concrete foundations. I'm gonna ask around a bit and see if I can get a clue.

KCB, the whole area is generally surrounded by higher ground, so it would have been frequently wet. Did you notice the slight descending ditch which borders the reedy area? The fences, I presume, would have have served to keep wildlife away from the crops (whatever crops were grown there)...

I visted the site in question today. Jokerman is right: This place was farmed (I found the remains of some old plows) and it looks like it was only abandoned a few decades ago. Does anyone know when the state purchased this tract of land?

Another great day in the great Pines with great souls. Thanks, guys.

hmmmm.... Maybe it was a house cat. http://www.dbeyr.com/worlds_largest_cat.html Looks like I could be the biggest egghead of em all. :mrgreen: but it still does appear rather large, even for a large house cat. Maybe its father was a bobcat? Maybe I need to go to sleep.

Looks to be the width of my thigh (edit: I meant to say my lower leg - I'm getting sleepy). How are you seeing it?
