That's ashamed. Especially for a park ranger.

Theres about $300 or more of meat on a med size alligator snapper.

there was only one guy allowed to be shooting his gun, this being part of the C&O canal state park, so its not like others wouldve been doing it. 7 and 8 yearold children wernt large enough to carry these turtles out. im assuming the place turned to shit like everything else in maryland has. we used to go there every weekend until the turtle count grew. someone wasting turtles for no reason, what chance did children have if their turn came.

That's terrible!
