Okay, I live by the Arkansas River so I  know about snapping turtles.  All this guy had to do is move to another spot and the turtle was not going to chase him down.  I'm sure the guy must have been near a nest or something if the turtle tried to attack.  Still, should he be charged with a felony?  My Granny Jones used to make turtle soup out of the snappers they fished out of her creek.  I guess the difference is he wasn't killing the turtle for food...But, a felony?
