Thank you for finding a safer place for the turtle. I was reading that a snapping turtle can stay under water for 50-60 minutes at a time before they have to surface for air. Enjoy the day.
I'm definitely glad you decided to relocate it!! Also snapping turtles do not lay their eggs in the water, they come out of the water and lay them on dry land.
Make sure you check the pigs pond every now and again. Could be another turtle in there. Also you could put wire on the bottom of the pigs pen and it might help to keep others out.
Had a golden retriever named chance when I was 12. 47 now, and we had a small pond on 13 acres. We were at the pond one day fishing when suddenly chance started screaming and trying to run, but kept falling on his face. Alligator snapping turtle bit straight through his leg, severing it instantly. When my dad found his paw, he tried to retrieve it out of the pond bank and as soon as he reached for it, he about lost his hand. But we basically did the same thing you did. Thank you for caring.
When my Grandpa use to come across those alligator snappers, he'd catch them and put them in a tote of fresh water for awhile, then make soup out of them.
Glad that you have found the turtle and you got it out of the poñd , That is good that he is in a good place for him to live and make a family 😁 Thank you for your help for him 😊 God bless the family 💝🙏🙏🙏
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals. The turtle must go that type can hurt you
❤that you safely moved that turtle to a much better pond for it and affording a safer wallow/pond for the pigs and other animals. Hope things go well at the Oaki Homestead Event this weekend and that everyone has a great time!!! God bless! 🐢👏👏
@@katherineleonowski7289there’s snapping turtles in almost all creeks. I played in creeks as a kid and came across many throughout the years, mostly small ones but 2 huge ones. Got to teach kids about dangers in playing in creeks and ponds and what to not touch. Simple!
I'm glad you got him, he'll be better off, and he won't be getting any ham hocks, or puppy paws, they can get really nasty, I know you're putting them in your other pond, people don't realize in creeks they can get far away, but in the little pond that piggies love to roll in, might be a whole different senerio. I lifted a 40 lb one off the road once, a truck flipped him over and both my daughter and I love turtles, I'm glad he was dazed for a bit after seeing how yours acted, God bless yas, wishing you all the blessed time at the oakie homestead hook up
Hi Dutch, I think it’s a good idea to get that snapping turtle out of there. I do know someone from years ago that did loose a finger by one of them plus they carry germs. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦
That snapping turtle was really angry at you, Sean. He/she will live a good life at the pond. Glad that you gave him a great area live. Thank you for sharing the turtle relocation with us. I hope you all enjoy the Okie Homestead 2024.❤
Thank you for ur utube channel I'm addicted you family is precious and so are you I've learned so much again thank you so much I'm a new subscriber in keller tx
Hi Sean, that was pretty cool, watching you locate the huge snapping g Turtle, and relocating him to a bigger pond. That was almost as tricky as wrangling Cattle.
Thank you for being a true farmer and a watchman over your animals. Thats the most important role a farmer can take. Do what you have to do to keep your animals and your family safe. Snapping turtles are no joke. I think he loves his new home. Have a great weekend at the Okie homestead. Homefully, some day I can also visit. Currently I'm in Kenya and I can't wait to get back to the US. I just hope I can afford it.
Thanks for doing this Dutch. I'm amazed these turtles can hold their breath under water for so long. I just looked it up. Snappers can breathe through their butt for up to 100 days under water during their winter hibernation. I had no idea they could do that. In the summer they can breathe like humans and hold their breath for up to 6 hours. Again, amazing!
That's awesome to see him/her in its own pond away from your babies. Nice work. Glad he didn't get a bite of you. We have snapping turtles that are really big up here in NH.
That gorilla cart was a good tool to have along with the stick, rake and shovel😊! Good job on being Turtle Hunter and finding Godzilla🐢! I think he/she will do well in the back pond😁! Thanks for sharing your adventure, take care🙏🏻🤗💕!
The turtle is a good size for making turtle soup, or kabobs on the grill and you can also fry it in small chunks. But I ain’t eating it as it takes forever to butcher. 😂😂 Lol,Really I am glad you moved it now if it will stay there or come back to the pigs pond. We all can hope it will stay where you put it,So keep on keeping on God Bless Love y’all 👵🏻👵🏻
Better safe than sorry, vet treatments are also not cheap. Snapping turtles do have a strong bite and could cause injuries very easily Only issue at that pond maybe too rocky bottom, as they like a muddy base to dig into for safe living space. Hope if it moves out there is a creek nearby to relocate to or he may come right back to the pig pond. Another problem may be if it digs its tunnel into that pond dam wall, possibly draining the pond.
Glad you were able to locate him, I had just about given up on you finding him as well. I hope he likes the new home. Oakie Homesteaders expo is 2 hrs 46 min away🤔 totally doable, but my kid volunteered to work an extra shift this weekend. Maybe next year.
So happy and relieved that you removed the turtle! Now everyone can relax, at least until the next unforeseen event. It’s always something we never expect. I guess that’s life.
I learned respect for the big turtles in the river I grew up on in NE Arkansas. Hated it when they would get on the trot lines. I won't TMI you all on what would happen to them when we did frequently catch them. So relieved that you got him out of the pig's wallow. I was worried about him harming the animals or girls that might have gotten a nasty bite from him. They are known to carry salmonella and other bacteria. So wash that cart out!
Good luck on the Okie Expo I have my great great granddaughter's baby shower to go to on Saturday March 23 I am excited she is due around May 20. Have fun at the Expo.
Do people even watch the video before they post? Sean moved it to the other pond which is a good distance away and not the creek property because the girls don’t play in this pond anymore since they now have the creek property. There are plenty of frogs for it to eat in the new pond and nobody will be bothering it so it should be happy. The females don’t lay their eggs in the water…they bury them in the sand. I would imagine if it were a female, the pigs would eat the eggs so that shouldn’t be an issue. My only thought is maybe check the pig pond just to make sure there isn’t another one there. - Sue in AZ
You had the perfect chance to move him out of there when he wss out of the pond. But, at leadt you're getting him out now. Comments I read said that you did get him out and relocated. Thankful for that.
wow, what pasted through my head was, is there only one? that is one snapping turtle! Glad you got ot befor you headed off to Okie Homesteading Expo. I look forward to seeing some lives from Expo!!🤗🤗💞💞💙💙🐢🐢🐢
It will more than likely come back if it was born within a mile or so. There more than likely is more. Sorry I would have eliminated it. Turtle soup is great . Tell the girls not to be picking up stray turtles until they know it’s not a snapper. Thanks Dutch !
What did I hear you say? Next up Dutch eats Snapper Soup. J/k I know that channel changed. Don’t be surprised if he/she returns. Glad you got him out for the animals sake. 👍
I know you felt he wouldn’t harm your animals but he could. Better safe than sorry. He will love his new home.
I am so glad you relocated the turtle. Now everyone is happy.❤
So happy 😊 you found the TURTLE 🐢 & relocated him. Good for everyone.
Hi Dutch and Family. Turtle is a little upset Glad you moved it to the pond. God bless and love yall ❤❤
Thanks for relocating the turtle
I know.. I can't believe he can put it back in there.
You better keep a look out. Turtles are territorial and he/she might return. They can travel a mile or so.😅
Nice one Sean. It should now be called The Godzilla Pond!
😂🙏😂
😮😮😮😮😮😮😅 5:0😮8 😮😮
or can hibernate --not needing much air
Praise be to God you relocated the turtle. ❤🙏❤ I'm so thankful no one got bit. It's probably going like it's new location. Thanks.
Thank you for finding a safer place for the turtle. I was reading that a snapping turtle can stay under water for 50-60 minutes at a time before they have to surface for air. Enjoy the day.
I'm glad you got that turtle when he was that size. You wouldn't want to have it bigger than it is ,& trying to get it moved.😮😊
Good evening from Syracuse NY everyone thank you for sharing your adventures and your farm
Hi
I would call it turtlezilla. 😂 Or turtzilla. I'm glad you found it and relocated it.
I'm definitely glad you decided to relocate it!! Also snapping turtles do not lay their eggs in the water, they come out of the water and lay them on dry land.
Make sure you check the pigs pond every now and again. Could be another turtle in there. Also you could put wire on the bottom of the pigs pen and it might help to keep others out.
Thank you Sean for relocating the turtle 🐢. It is a relief to know everyone is safe ...
That water is too clear for him. He enjoyed the murky water probably. He may find him/herself back to the murky water.☺️ Good job Dutch!! 🤗

Right on!!! Everyone will be safe and happy now. Hopefully, there's no eggs. God bless❤
Dutch you being very smart to get rid of the snapper
should have done a catch clean and cook turtle is great meat and soup
That turtle will probably find it's way back to the other pond❤
Thank you Dutch for relocating the turtle. I feel better your animals are safe.
Duhh
@@bobbie7355 what is the duhh for
Good deal Sean I’m glad you relocated that thing hopefully stays there an don’t try to move back but if it does turtle soup is pretty good.
Glad that you have found the turtle and you got it out of the poñd , That is good that he is in a good place for him to live and make a family 😁 Thank you for your help for him 😊 God bless the family 💝🙏🙏🙏
Glad you moved that turtle, they can be dangerous.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the animals. The turtle must go that type can hurt you

So glad you caught it and got it relocated safely.😊
You should move him to the creek...bigger place for him to roam but anywhere away from your animals is ok
Never a creek!!! Children want to play and swim there!!!

Hi Sean, that was pretty cool, watching you locate the huge snapping g Turtle, and relocating him to a bigger pond. That was almost as tricky as wrangling Cattle.
Yup, thank you!
Look how thick his legs are! He will eat a lot of tadpoles!
He can sun undisturbed.
They do not lay eggs in the water they go to dry land dig a hole and lay them there
Hi & yes it is great you are getting that turtle out of there. To be safe. I am a bit surprised you did not have the girls with helping.
Nice moving out day ! Glad you got him out.
It was fantastic watching you get the turtle.
Taking care of your property, is an ongoing chore. You need to know, I appreciate your candid approach to your videos
I'm glad you got him relocated. Good job Sean

Happier now I should think ! 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Well done Dutch 👏 Thank you for moving it .Have a great Expo .from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Shawn, you need to name it Gamera because that’s the turtle that Godzilla fought .lol 😂
This has certainly been an interesting journey. Your family and homestead are much loved. Thank you for keeping us happy!!!
You may need to keep an eye out if it was a female it could have been eggs in/around that pond
Nice camera realy clean picture great fo old people to watch
❤❤❤❤❤
They dig a hole on dry land and lay their eggs in there.
Turtle soup is really good. Your girls are so lucky. As a kid I would have loved out in the county.
Thank goodness everyone is okay in the end . 🙏🏻 That the turtle didn't get traumatized too badly 😢

We will be at the Okie Homestead Expo! We are leaving tonight. It is just over a 13 hour drive for us from West Virginia !
He will be much happier in his new home ❤😊
