I caught a 20 pound snapping turtle yesterday. This evening I'm going to collect rent at some apartments. Two of the guys are from Louisiana and offered to show my how to clean a turtle. The other tenants at the apartments are from Minnesota, Missouri, China, Mexico and south Texas. I'll invite all those other folks to come over and watch the turtle cleaning show. I'll also bring a 30 pack.

This is a good idea, and I want to hear what you guys come up with to cook it into. All those cultures combined ought to make some delicious turtle-fusion dish. I'll be waiting to hear back @Paul Sandhu

Nothing wrong with comradery with your tenants as long as they maintain respect towards you. I have a hell of a turtle sauce piquant recipe if you are interested!

The Louisiana people told me to let it stay in fresh water in a big drum for a few days. We'll clean it this weekend. The drum is in the back of my truck here at work. I'm showing all the ladies here the turtle.

In my STR on Lake Superior I have a separate room for fish cleaning and a cutting board to do it outside in the summer. I even have a Traegar up there so they can immediately smoke lake trout and salmon if they so choose.
Generally it does require beer to clean them as well when we're there.
Not a STR rental story, but I was elbow deep cleaning a wild turkey I had shot one morning in high school. A Jehovah's Witness stopped at my house and he just couldn't resist himself with his question. "Did you get a turkey". I just smiled back and I think the magnitude of the stupidity clicked and his face showed it.
