Being that I live in South Ga.=(N.Fl.) this is what I get! Are those "Gophers" "Man they make some good stew" We use to eat "Gopher all the time". But the one that gets me the most is "you raise them to eat" Haaaa! When people ask me what my torts eat I say "Human Stew" Vic

I iamgine it like this:
Vic: I like turtles!
Aquantince: Are thoes gopher turtles
Vic: *no*
Aquantince: MMM thoes are some good eating can i take one home?
Vic: Release the hound.
You got that right (and its funny as hell too!) Here she is!


Mighty fine! looks like a North American Tortiose Shepard!!
