Can someone enlighten me as to why I see more males spotted and wood turtles and not many females. Yesterday I saw a couple dozen males and 4 females. The same sort of ratio exists when I see wood turtles. Do poachers leave the males behind and keep the females? Or is this just because of higher activity levels with males early in spring vs. females. Here are some pics from yesterday.



I wished this guy good luck and hope no grimy I need 120 bucks poacher lays a hand on him.
