Rescuing a Lost Baby Turtle from the Road

One of the most rewarding things for me as a wildlife officer was working hands-on with wildlife. Helping turtles and young wildlife is a passion. Well-done, brother!

@Gobbler luckily I had deck lights to get people’s attention. I thought we were but gonna get hit by some jackhole. If he’s there again he’s gonna get “rescued.” I wasn’t 100% sure he was orphaned or he’d be chilling in the man cave until he’s a little bigger, haha

@Mike foxes are so cool!

@Gobbler yes they are.

Hope little one reunites with mama.🤞 Thanks for getting him off the road. 👍👊At least he didn't pee on you!🤣

@David good point🤣.

One time when I was bass fishing a large pond I had the pleasure of watching a half dozen kits leave the den and play just as kittens would. They are amazing creatures, have you ever seen one go up a tree? A Grey fox will climb vertical and Reds will climb deadfall, I've seen them get 20' high before.

@Appalachian that’s awesome. We once had red fox kits that were raised in our barn at my farm. The first one I saw was in the loft and the ladder was up. I’ve also seen coyotes go up deadfalls to 15-20’. Amazing animals.

@Mike That's awesome! Once I had a coyote jump up on an old 4' tall moss covered stone fence and trot in to ten yards on top of it. As I came to full draw I realized it had three legs, I shook my head as I let down and watched it trot away

@Appalachian haha, yeah, I’d give that warrior a pass also. Just like ol’ nipples🤣🤣

@Mike yupp 🤣

She will sniff him out , he will be giving off a fierce scent

One of my Austrian friends had one as pet lol.
Think she took it in while it was young and it just stayed lol.
She luved in a cabin up in the mountains there, so it was a good home for it.
