Hello!

Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.

Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....

Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.

Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.

Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.

Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

kmurphy	Boy Kills Giant Turtle What are they teaching those kids in North Carolina!!! Sounds like a wonderful little boy. Boy kills giant turtle A 14-year-old boy from Spruce Pine shot and killed a 68-pound snapping turtle on May 21. Issac Hedrick was at a pond on Lynn Gap Road close to his grandmother's house when he saw the turtle. Hedrick said he was out looking for snakes with a 410 shotgun and saw the turtle move in the pond. He kept an eye on it and when it put its head up, he shot it twice. Hedrick said he wrestled with pulling the turtle from the pond for over an hour. He ended up using a broken rake from a shed to help him drag the turtle to land. About 15 pounds of meat came off of the turtle. http://www.mitchellnews.com/articles...s/sports02.txt
