I Found A Way to Satisfy My Male Conquest Ego
I have never hunted. I've never been a good fisherman. Until lately, I have never satisfied the whole "conquest of another being" urge that is present in the males except by beating people at digital games.
BUT, lately I have found something that is extremely satisfying - trapping turtles. Not just any turtles, mind you, but snapping turtles. Our pond is infested with them. I've caught three so far this year, two with my trap and one with a net. I might have four, haven't checked the trap yet this morning. I've got my eye on an 18 inch turtle though, can't wait till he wanders into my trap - specially since I get a dollar for every inch across on the turtle (another especially satisfying aspect of trapping these things).
So yeah, I might not ever be the mighty hunter, but trapping is a lot of fun.
