Well,
I ended up buying some nightcrawler bait, and by the end of it fed him the whole 7 worms of it.
Then i took him down to the Park Rangers station by east fork. They took him in, said they'd examine his skull. If he was sound, they said they'd release him close to the lake. If not they said they'd keep him over the winter and nurse him to health.
When i was younger i used to catch turtles all the time outside my grandparents house. they used to pop up like mad crazy on the sides of the back roads.
One day i was just walking along the edge of the road, happened to look down and Bam. there was a turtle. He had a really cool shell design on him so i kept him. Turned one of my OLLDDD toy boxes into a kinda home for him.
(Took cut up grass and bedded the place down, along with a container of water for him to do w.e he wanted to with)
Had him for 2 months, loved the little guy. Then one day i took him back to my grand parents. Figured i'd let him stretch his legs in the back yard. Was keeping an eye on him but my grandfather asked me to help him cut wood.
Started doing that, forgot all about the turtle, and by the time i remembered he was gone
To this day i still miss that little guy
