One lucky Napping Box Turtle .

[Davers]

I just missed him , I think he was a relic hunter also as it was on top of a Fired Minnie ...... ...


These were taken on April 27 2018 ' guess it was time for it to get up anyway.

Also , I never would have forgiven myself if I had severely hurt or killed this friend.
Thanks for looking

Very cool Davers and good job of catch and release. Good luck!

Wow! That was a bonus find. I'm glad you didn't hurt it.

Nice pics! I'm amazed they burrow down like that.

very cool, I nearly crashed my truck the other day missing one. 2nd time this year I almost hit a painted turtle, both times I stopped and transported them to safety.

That reminds me of a woods hunt last year where I dug a frozen frog in hibernation, so glad I didn't hit him with the shovel. After extracting the target (a silver 2 reale), I carefully buried him where he was found.
